Working for Illinois Caucus

State Representative Stephanie Kifowit could be making a return to local politics.

The Kendall County Democrats say that Kifowit is gathering petition signatures to run for the Oswego Village Board among other returning candidates in 2027.

Kifowit is not seeking reelection to the Illinois Statehouse. She had failed to win the Democratic nomination in a run for Illinois Comptroller earlier this year.

Kifowit is no stranger to local politics having served on the Aurora City council in the past.

Also looking to return to the ballot for April of 2027 are Democratic Village President Ryan Kauffman, and trustees Karin McCarthy-Lange and Andrew Torres.

Kifowit recently announced that she’s taking a post as Executive Director of the Construction Industry Service Corporation, a labor management group serving building trade unions.
