"It has been an honor and privilege to serve the residents of Orland Township for the past 12 years as Township Clerk.  While it has been a challenging position, it has also been most rewarding.  I have had the opportunity to meet and work with many wonderful residents, and have developed many lifelong friendships. 


"As Township Clerk, I perform all duties required by state statutes and ordinances working closely with various Cook County and state agencies.  In this position, it is essential to be knowledgeable of the statutes to ensure that all legal requirements are met.   















 "I also serve as the local election official coordinating all elections with the county Election Department, and the State Board of Elections.  The Town Clerk is a keeper of records, and must maintain the integrity of the records while realizing the historical value of certain documents. 














"I am dedicated to this position and take it very seriously, believing that the residents of Orland Township deserve immediate and accurate service.   I am willing to continue to provide this level of service while remaining available to assist residents, either at the office or at home.  If re-elected, I will continue to fulfill the duties of Clerk while upholding the standards of professionalism, servitude, experience, and knowledge that the Orland Township residents and Office of the Township Clerk have come to expect, and deserve," Thompson stated. 









Clerk Thompson and her husband, Roger, have been married for more than 40 years, and reside in Orland Park.  She, and the members of the Orland Township Progressive Party, are asking for your support and vote in the
