Watch my new campaign video starring my dog Pip!
My dog Pippi definitely knows her own mind. Watch my latest video to see what Pip doesn’t like to do and how she is supporting my campaign. I have to laugh every time I watch it because it is just so “Pip”. Enjoy!

See my new video where I explain the county issues that are most important to me and why I am running for the Lake County Board, District 15.
Libertyville Township Dems Pancake Breakfast
A great time was had by all at the Libertyville Township Democrats Pancake breakfast. Jennifer and many other candidates served pancakes and sausages to an enthusiastic crowd. It was nice to see so many supporters of all ages at the breakfast.
Julianna Stratton gave a rousing speech that passionately encouraged everyone to keep working toward change in this area and to support all our Democratic candidates.
While eating pancakes, supporters, volunteers and candidates were able to relax and discuss the issues facing Lake County and our country today.
“The pancakes were absolutely delicious and I enjoyed being able to sit down and talk to so many supporters. There was a lot of powerful energy in that room!” Jennifer said. “Thank you to the Libertyville Township Democrats for putting on such an amazing event.”
Jennifer Clark to Run For Lake County Board
Libertyville – Today, Jennifer Clark announced her candidacy as the Democratic nomineefor Lake County Board Commissioner of District 15. Running on a platform of fiscal responsibility, economic development and protecting our vital natural resources, Jennifer knows her extensive experience in economics will enable her to make a real difference for our community and all of Lake County.

She also intends to implement a comprehensive economic development plan that considers the infrastructure, education and municipal needs county wide. “An integrated approach among key stakeholders including townships, the college of Lake County and area business will put us on track to have a healthier tax base and account for our needs well into the future,” says Clark. Her plan will also incorporate renewable energy as technological advances havedramatically increased cost efficiency while yielding substantial savings.
Jennifer is also extremely dedicated to preserving Lake County’s outstanding forest preserves. She will pursue an expansion of the forest preserve holdings and increase access to underserved communities. “The recent episodes of flooding have taught us that preserving wetlands is not only the right thing to do, it is vital. Our communities deserve better,” says Clark.

Her focus is on smart economic development and conservation of our natural resources.Jennifer graduated Cum Laude from Miami University in Oxford, OH with a BA in Economics and earned her law degree from the University of Illinois in Champaign.
