2025 Mokena municipal elections

It has been a busy couple of weeks, with fundraisers and petition filings! Get caught up on who actually filed their petitions to run in the April 1st election as well as how much campaign money each of the Mayoral slates have on hand. Be on the look out for our candidate interviews, you won't want to miss them!

In this video Israel explains the role that Mokena's Front Porch Podcast will play in the upcoming local elections on April 1, 2025.  Local politics have always been a significant part of our historical records and the people who step up to run for these rolls are usually active in their community. Our podcast hopes to be a conversation point for these elections. This video explains more about that and also provides the first update on the election.

Israel sat down with Mayor Frank Fleischer and Mrs. Laurie Fleischer to talk about their life in Mokena. The Mayor told us in August that he does intend to run for another term as Mayor. 

Long time Village Trustee, George Metanias confirmed for me in our interview that he is running for Mokena Mayor in 2025. Our update shows that he has pulled petitions to run for Mayor.
