Who We Are

Responsible Cities is a political action committee formed after the April 2019 election by citizens of Bloomington-Normal, IL. We come together to recruit and support candidates in non-partisan municipal elections with the goal of electing community leaders who possess a sense of shared responsibility for bettering the community we all know and love. 

​

We believe leadership makes a difference —for better or worse —and we want our collective efforts to result in an improved quality of life in our cities.

​We are made up of proud citizens of Bloomington-Normal who see historically low turnout in non-partisan municipal races as evidence of a lack of awareness about the impact of these elections on the lives of community members. To be clear: this is where your vote matters most.

​

More than moving left or right, our priority is moving forward—responsibly. We support candidates who will unite people, work well with the rich diversity and neighborhoods of Bloomington-Normal, advocate for economic growth, and lead social change. If you share these values, please donate or contact us to learn about other ways to support the effort.
