This spring, more than 2800 people signed to put Jordan Villas on the ballot as the Working Class Party candidate in the 12th Illinois State Senate District.
This spring, volunteers gathered over 2,800 signatures to put Jordan Villas on the ballot for Working Class Party in the 12th Illinois State Senate District – about double the number of signatures required by law.
Ed Hershey will be the Working Class Party candidate for Illinois' 4th Congressional district in 2026. Because WCP received just over 5% of this district's vote in 2024, the party was not required to gather signatures to appear on its ballot this year.
The campaign for a Working Class Party in Illinois is now collecting signatures to add a worker to its ballot for 2026. Supporters are circulating a petition to include Jordan Villas in the November 3 general election for State Senate in the 12th district.
