The Niles Township GOP is an independent Republican social/political organization consisting of residents and small business owners in Lincolnwood, Skokie, Morton Grove, Golf, and sections of Niles and Glenview. Founded in late 2024, the organization (also known as the NTGOP) is headed by President Mark Albers.

"One of our primary objectives now and in 2026 is to support our area charitable organizations through generous donations made by our members. We strongly believe in assisting local non-profit charitable groups whenever possible." according to Albers. An example of the NTGOP's most recent effort was to collect and donate blankets, towels and pet food for Wright-Way Rescue in Morton Grove. "We are very impressed with Wright-Way's operation and will definitely be doing more with them in the near future," Albers said.

Thanks to everyone who braved the frigid temperatures and joined our Holiday Open House party in Morton Grove. Candidates Vince Romano, Jim Geldermann and Mark Albers were in attendance and we welcomed new members! Also pictured are Kirsten Lindberg and Aasi Siddique! The hot apple cider was very popular as were the homemade blueberry muffins and chocolate brownies. We collected more than expected food donations for the Skokie Food Pantry that will be delivered next week.

Happy Holidays from the Niles Township GOP!
