At 12:30pm CT on Monday, December 4th, Raja Krishnamoorthi will be hosting a virtual town hall with local experts on the ongoing youth mental health epidemic, how best to address it, and what steps parents, health care professionals, and policymakers can take to help those in need.
Following the onset of the pandemic, awareness to do more to address America’s mental health crisis, particularly in teens and young people, has risen, but there is still more to be done at all levels, particularly as we confront the related substance abuse challenges facing our nation. You can RSVP to the town hall here.

Forum Protocols:
1. This is a FORUM. The definition of a forum is to ask all candidates the same question and hear their response in 2 minutes or less per candidate.
2. The questions were curated with input from citizens via email over the last ten days. We have made every attempt to ask pointed, thought-provoking, and unbiased questions that will cover a multitude of issues.
3. We will round-robin all questions between candidates so each candidate can go first.
4. Interrupting the candidates will not be tolerated, and you will be asked to leave. It’s important to allow them to get their message out.
5. The organizers will be recording the meeting and will publish it.
6. We want to bring similar events to the voting public in the future. We appreciate your cooperation in making this a courteous, informative, and dignified event.

Congressman Krishnamoorthi hosts a town hall to discuss climate change with meteorologist extraordinaire Tom Skilling.
On Monday at 12:15 CDT, I will host a town hall with legendary former WGN-TV Chief Meteorologist Tom Skilling. Tom, recently retired from his post at WGN-TV, will join me to discuss climate change, its effect on severe weather patterns in Chicagoland and nationwide, and the path forward for concerned citizens. Following remarks from Tom and I, the audience will have an opportunity to participate in a Q&A period. You can RSVP for my town hall here. I look forward to seeing you there.
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 March 19, 2024 election. The scheduled County Convention is a set date required by Illinois state law, which will take place this year on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, 730pm.
If you are a newly elected PC for the 2024-2026 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.
