Niles Township GOP Endorsements

2026 Republican Candidate Endorsements

Thank you for reviewing the endorsements made by the Niles Township GOP. Please use this as a guide to cast your primary ballot for the Republican candidates our Niles Township GOP leadership & membership believe represents our party best in the office they are seeking and can win in November.

There are three write-in candidates that we strongly ask that you support (especially our President, Mark Albers, for Township Committeeperson at the very end of the candidate ballot: Township Committeeperson). Write-in instructions are listed at the bottom of this article.

ALSO, the Niles Township GOP is in full support of maintaining the status quo in the Village of Niles.

We DO NOT support the effort to abolish the term limits that are already in place, which limits the number of terms that any Mayor can serve.

Niles Township GOP recommends a NO vote on the Village of Niles Referendum to extend term limits from 12 years to 20 years. Vote NO on this referendum!

Please review each candidate's website for more information on their policy positions.
