Who Represents You

 

IN SPRINGFIELD      IN COOK COUNTY    IN WASHINGTON D.C.

 

 

     New Trier Township has the good fortune to have boundaries that include three different state legislative districts, two state senatorial districts and two U.S. Congressional Districts.
     This means that we are represented by and our voices have an impact on five members of the State legislature and three members of Congress. Today, six of those seven legislators are Democrats. In 2014, NTDO volunteers will be doing everything we can to ensure that all of these seats continue to be held by progressive Democrats.
