(Courtesy of Lori Wilcox) CHICAGO HEIGHTS, IL — Lori Wilcox, the current Chicago Heights City Clerk and Bloom Township Democratic Committeewoman officially announced her campaign for Bloom Township Supervisor on Monday in a news release. If Wilcox is elected, she would be the first woman and African American elected as Township Supervisor. In 2018, Wilcox unseated a 20+ year incumbent and was elected as the second African American Democratic Committeewoman of Bloom Township. Wilcox was the first elected in 2011 as City Clerk of Chicago Heights, and she is currently serving her third term. "Bloom Township has an unfortunate history of not being receptive to change in it's residents, it's government and culture. Our campaign is one of not only complete diversity, but inclusion in every aspect of our platform for Township government. Our motto is total inclusion, no exclusion." Wilcox said.
