Personal PAC's Endorsements of Pro-Choice Candidates

Pro-Choice. No Exceptions.

2025 Local Election Endorsements

The Personal PAC Board of Directors is proud to release its endorsements of pro-choice candidates leading up to the April 1, 2025 Local Elections.

Our cities, townships, and school and library boards are on the front lines of protecting our reproductive rights in 2025. With the future of reproductive health and rights in jeopardy, it’s critical to ensure we protect reproductive freedom at the local level.

The people of Illinois trust Personal PAC’s endorsements to ensure that they are only voting for 100% pro-choice candidates. We have worked hard to turn Illinois into a safe haven for abortion access and reproductive rights. Every election, every cycle, we must defend the progress we have won and work to make sure that abortion stays safe, legal, and accessible to all in Illinois.
