A Community Member Who Shows Up
Liz Bishop is a proud resident of LaSalle and a devoted single mother whose steady example helped her son, James, graduate college and launch a career in finance in New York City. She comes from the real world: “I have worked in business. I am a retired bank auditor. I understand budgets, numbers, accountability, risk, planning, and follow-through.” She was elected LaSalle City Clerk, where she has seen firsthand how local government is supposed to work.
Liz doesn’t just talk about community service. She rolls up her sleeves as a member of the local orchestra, on a cemetery board, organizing fundraisers, volunteering with local charities and mentoring young professionals.
In 2024 Team Bishop knocked on more than 17,000 doors and turned a district Democrats won by 15 points into a one-point race, about 500 votes. In 2026, we’re going to finish the job.
Advocating for What Matters Here
Lower the Cost of Living
Liz will bring her proven business skills to state government to end non-stop tax hikes used to finance chronic overspending. She will work to make Illinois more business friendly.
Protect Taxpayers & Property Tax Relief
Working to ease the burden on homeowners and protect residents from being taxed out of their homes. Property tax relief must be more than a campaign slogan. It has to be a priority.
Defend Local Control
Standing up to Springfield overreach on solar farms, data centers, and land use—our communities should decide what’s right for our communities.
Support Law Enforcement & Safe Communities
Endorsed by the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police and backed by sheriffs across LaSalle, DeKalb, and Bureau counties, Liz will be the partner law enforcement officers need in Springfield.
Protect Access to Local Healthcare
Advocating to restore and strengthen healthcare services across our region—because access to care should never depend on your zip code.
Balance & Accountability in Springfield
Liz will work to end the culture of corruption and insider protection in Springfield. She believes government should be honest, transparent, and accountable, because “Sunlight is the best disinfectant.”
Hear From Liz
“Lower costs, lower taxes, local control, balanced government.” Liz is ready to bring her financial background to put Illinois on a more affordable path.
Liz will find solutions to lower the tax burden, protect homeowners, and make Illinois more affordable.
“Our communities are not suburbs of Chicago.” Growth should happen with local consent, not by force from Springfield.
Accountability. Respect for taxpayers. Better representation. A voice for the people.
