2026 General Election — LOCAL VOTER GUIDES
Written By David E. Smith   |   09.17.26

The November 3rd General Election is just around the corner, and early voting begins on September 24th. As with every cycle, this election is critical for the future of Illinois. It is vital that we elect leaders we can trust to enact laws that honor God and protect our families.

We cannot emphasize strongly enough how essential it is for Christians to be faithful stewards of self-government. Exercising our civic duty to vote is not optional; it is a stewardship we must fulfill in every single election cycle.

God has blessed this nation with the ability to choose our elected officials. We must do everything within our power to elect men and women who recognize that America’s strength rests entirely on the Christian foundation laid by our Founders. If we do not courageously uphold those enduring principles at the ballot box, we will continue to slide toward socialism and communism.
