Citizens' Council of La Grange

Citizens' Council of La Grange Non-partisan LG Citizens group seeking to educate and inform residents while seeking, informing and assisting candidates for the Village, Library & Park.

What we are all about . . . The Citizens' Council of La Grange is a non-partisan, volunteer organization dating back to the 1930s, which serves the residents of La Grange, Illinois by seeking, informing and assisting candidates for the Village, Library and Park District Boards. Prior to every election for these governing bodies, the Council provides the La Grange residents a candidate forum. This

forum allows the candidates an opportunity to let residents know why they are running and what makes them a good candidate. The Citizens' Council is just that - a council for the citizens by citizens. It is not a caucus or a political party. The Council strives to promote and maintain the best possible government for all La Grange citizens, comprising representatives from each of the 11 voting districts within La Grange. Each representative sits on a committee that has an opportunity to further shape different aspects of the Council. Its members are active throughout our community and work to ensure the Village's continued success through open, honest, and intelligent governance.
