LWVGE Statement regarding Village of Glen Ellyn Town Hall election concerns
The League of Women Voters of Glen Ellyn was alerted to an incident of one of the candidates running for Village Trustee being intimidated by a village resident to withdraw their name from consideration at the upcoming town meeting.

Instead of interfering, we should be thanking all of these candidates for stepping up and volunteering to serve our community in local government. CONTINUE READING FOR MORE INFORMATION.
