Join the Elgin Township Democrats in Elgin’s Fourth of July Parade!
The parade steps off Monday, July 4th at 9am at Slade and Douglas Avenue. Please join the Elgin Dems float by 8:30am.
The Elgin Dems will be staged on Grove Avenue at GROVE A. This should be the section of Grove Ave between Slade and Lincoln. (You can ask a gate captain at N Grove Ave and Ann St for directions to GROVE A if you need them.)
Dress for the weather and wear an Elgin / Kane County Democrats or candidate shirt if you have one. Signs are encouraged as well.
(Do you have a friend who feels they need to march too? Invite them along to meet with like minded people. The camaraderie and conversation with others who try to make a positive difference can help.)

The Kane County convention is held every two years following the primary election on even-numbered years. This is when all new PCs are officially elected and can thus elect the Chair and Executive Board members of the Kane County Democrats. This is a weighted vote based on the number of Democratic ballots pulled in your precinct for that primary election. We will have the weighted number once the ballot is certified following the June 28 election. The scheduled County Convention is a set date required by Illinois state law, which will take place this year on Wednesday July 27.
If you are a newly elected PC for the 2022-2024 term, please email us at info@kanedems.org to ensure that your email is included in our invite. Please note that this is a private event and that only elected and appointed PCs will be allowed in.
Please join the Kane County Democratic Women for this month’s General Meeting
The KCDW meets the first Tuesday of each month at different locations. Check our calendar for each month’s meeting location.
Sat Aug 13 – 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Save the date for this year’s Elburn Days parade! Join the Western Township Democrats (Blackberry, Campton, Plato, Virgil, Burlington and Kaneville) and many of our Democratic candidates to show support for the party and help get out the vote.
