Endorsements: Ellman for Senate Dist. 21

Voters in Illinois Senate District 21 and House districts 41 and 42 will be choosing from a field of qualified candidates.

In Senate District 21, incumbent Democrat Laura Ellman, of Naperville, is seeking a third term. Republican Julie Berkowicz, a Will County Board member since 2018, is challenging her for the seat.

Ellman believes the best way to lower property taxes is to reform school funding by reexamining the outcomes and refining the model. Berkowicz, also of Naperville, supports a 1% cap on all levies and backs school choice. Ellman has earned our endorsement in the past, and she’s done nothing to change our mind. Ellman is endorsed.
