You have to make a decision to get involved and stay informed. This is a non-paid position that does require some work. Most can be done from home and the computer which makes it easier.
Next download the file in the Box Public Files on Main Page called in the folder Precinct Committeeman Applications. The file is called: 2010PrecinctCommitteemenPetitionPackets
Next find your precinct. I found an interactive map here at http://gis2.co.lake.il.us/maps/ . Bottom left in blue go to Precinct Boundaries and below look for your precinct number. If you don't know it choose a precinct number and move map around till you find your area on map.
Next look up who your Precinct Committeeman is if there is one. See the competition.
Next on map once you find your precinct number choose it from list on left side of page and print out the statistical information on left. Population, square miles, commercial, agricultural etc. is all listed and make a list of the exact area so we can contact those who will elect you. We have to work together and group up with those others with similar goals.
