Run for Local Office – Be the Change Freeport Deserves
At Fighting4Freeport, we believe real, lasting change starts right here at home — with committed, everyday residents stepping up to lead with Transparency, Integrity, and Accountability. We’re not affiliated with the Stephenson County Republican Party or the Stephenson County Democratic Party — and that’s intentional. We’ve seen how both parties have too often put personal agendas ahead of the people of Freeport. It’s time to break the status quo by supporting the best people not the party’s elite.
Our mission is simple: elect the right people to the right positions — people who are ready to serve the community, not themselves. We’re building a local movement rooted in solutions, not partisanship. We believe our local government should reflect the community it serves, and that means leaders from all backgrounds and perspectives working together to do what’s right for Freeport.
Thinking about running for office? If you're passionate about change and committed to serving with integrity, we want to talk. Fill out our contact form today to start a conversation. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
Freeport needs leaders, not politics. Let’s build something better — together.
