Mission
The mission of the Progressives of Kane County is to effect meaningful change in local, state, and national politics by actively promoting a progressive agenda through stewardship of the fair interests of all Americans.
About us
The Progressives of Kane County formed as a group in the summer of 2016, evolving from local supporters of the 2016 Bernie Sanders campaign. Since the November 2016 election, the group has grown substantially, reorganized and refocused on promoting a progressive agenda at the local level. The group encourages active participation in government, supports fair elections, tracks and monitors local government entities, identifies and supports potential candidates, and educates and mobilizes members on policy issues.
