I've been living here for 40 years and it's always been GOP. A writer on local politics said the township has been GOP since Lincoln! Don't know if that's true. Various hate groups have been attacking our institutions and so far they have been kept out by some local progressive groups. Our Village Council now has 2 more progressive members. We've been getting an influx of families from Chicago (in fact the whole of DuPage County) and along with that demographic a changing political population. It's great!
