Annette Parker Announces Re-Election Bid For Will County Clerk (Crest Hill, IL) – Annette Parker today announced her intention to seek re-election as Will County Clerk in the 2026 primary election aiming to continue her service and leadership through 2030.

The voters agreed that my decades of experience in government, politics, business and community affairs have provided me with the background to successfully manage the responsibilities of the County Clerk. In the short time I have served as Will County Clerk I have made great strides in improving the office and am proud of what our team has achieved- modernizing equipment, improving customer service and protecting voting integrity across the county,” Parker stated. “I’m excited to build on that progress and ensure that every resident can count on a transparent, efficient and trustworthy clerk’s office.”
Parker’s campaign priorities include:
- Election Security & Integrity
Ensure Will County’s elections remain secure and transparent, upgrading technology and training staff for efficient ballot processing.
- Election State Statutes
Work with State Legislators to update and clarify election state statutes and codes.
- Customer-Focused Services
Expand access to services like marriage licenses, passports, and vital records with extended hours, multilingual support, and improved online systems.
- Fiscal Responsibility
Continue to manage the Clerk’s office budget efficiently and effectively.
- Community Engagement
Host regular open-office days, host public forums, and work with local election authorities and municipalities to keep residents informed and involved.
“Our work is far from done,” Parker emphasized. “I believe in serving every resident of Will County—and I’m committed to ensuring our Clerk’s office remains reliable, efficient, and accessible. I humbly ask for the opportunity to continue this service through 2030.”
