Candidates on YouTube

The League of Women Voters of Oak Park-River Forest compiles online stump speeches.

You just can't thank the League of Women Voters enough. 

They're a passionate group of civic-minded volunteers, and they aim their keen eyes on the local issues affecting residents.

They explain topics and weigh in where appropriate. At occasional breakfast sessions, they hash out the local impact of national politics.  And recently, they sponsored the Candidates Fair at Oak Park-River Forest High School, a forum where residents were invited to meet and greet those seeking election for public office.
