About Us

The Maine Township Regular Democratic Organization (MTRDO) welcomes residents who believe in Democratic ideals and who live within the Maine Township boundaries which include areas of Des Plaines, Park Ridge, Niles, Glenview, Morton Grove, Rosemont, and unincorporated areas of Maine Township.

MTRDO meetings are held the first Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. at 790 Lee Street in Des Plaines. You are cordially invited to attend.

Political Shift

Historically, Maine Township was a GOP stronghold. In fact, the Maine Township government has been Republican-led for over 150 years since its inception, until recently. Our Democratic-backed slate swept the 2021 election along with many other Democratic elected officials, as the township has swayed steadily in favor of Democratic candidates in the recent years.

So proud of the Democratic supporters in Park Ridge! While the other side kept stealing Hartis/Walz signs, MTRDO replaced them daily. Instead of tearing anything down, folks in PR got their own signs and put them up at early voting! #democratsbuildup
