Jennifer Banek

Banek for State Central Committeewoman

Thank you for supporting my campaign!


I am a United States Army Veteran who is rooted in Lake County, where I currently serve as a county-wide elected official. I’m the only candidate from Lake County and a 25-year resident committed to this community. Representation matters, and my election will make me the only woman representing Lake County on the Democratic State Central Committee.


I have proven Democratic leadership and have contributed to efforts that flipped Lake County from a Republican stronghold to one of the bluest counties in Illinois. Today, every countywide elected official in Lake County is a Democrat. I’m proud to have been part of that transformation.


As a veteran and a nurse anesthesiologist, I am inspired to run and bring a voice that reflects service and healthcare. I offer a unique and essential perspective to our party, one grounded in service, public health, and prioritizing people.


As a Lake County resident, I believe our county's contributions to our great state deserve recognition, and our voices should be heard alongside those of our other great counties.
