Wilmette Campaign Ramps Up Before Balloting
As Wilmette voters near election day, campaign events shift to intimate home meetings aimed at women voters while public rallies draw large crowds. Issues include flats opposition, village manager, water waste, and potential track elevation, with strong partisan positions from Home and People’s parties led by Village President Orner. The contest is expected to yield the largest ward turnout in village history.
