Banek Announces her candidacy for IL Democratic Central Committeewoman, 8/7/2025!

Decisive.
Determined.
DEMOCRATIC.
I’m running for Democratic State Central Committeewoman in the 10th Congressional District because our communities deserve strong, local representation that understands our values and our challenges. As a veteran, a healthcare professional, and Lake County’s Coroner, I’ve built a career on service, accountability, and getting results in high-pressure situations.
Eighty percent of this district is right here in Lake County, and it’s time our voice carries the weight it deserves in shaping the future of the Democratic Party in Illinois. I’ll bring the same dedication, discipline, and compassion I’ve shown throughout my career to ensure our priorities - healthcare, public safety, and opportunity for all - are heard and acted upon at the state level.
Service is in my DNA. This is about making sure Lake County always has a seat at the table and a strong, steady voice speaking for us.
