Three candidates disqualified from Thornton Township supervisor race for 2025 ballot

Three independent candidates for Thornton Township supervisor, Stafford Owens, Nate Fields, and Sidney Moore, were disqualified from the 2025 ballot by the Electoral Board. Their disqualification was due to issues with their petitions and filings. A challenge against Harvey Mayor Christopher Clark, running under the Reform Thornton Township Party, was dropped. State Senator Napoleon Harris secured the Democratic nomination, while Richard Nolan will represent the Republican Party. Fields plans to appeal his disqualification, claiming the Electoral Board's decision was a mistake. Owens and Moore were disqualified for not meeting signature requirements and for switching parties too recently, respectively.
