Who We Are
Working Families for Madison County is an independent organization supporting candidates who put working people first — in our courts, in our county offices, and in every decision that touches everyday life here.
We believe Madison County families deserve public officials with one loyalty: the people they serve. Not political parties. Not special interests.

Candidate for Circuit Judge, Third Judicial Circuit
Marc Parker has spent more than 35 years in the law, standing up for working people and earning trust across party lines — including a unanimous, bipartisan confirmation to the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission. On the bench, he'll bring independence, weigh the facts, and give everyone a fair hearing.
Candidate for County Clerk & Recorder
Rachelle Bauerle is a nurse, a lifelong Madison County resident, and an election judge since 2020, with hands-on experience making Madison County elections work. She believes elected officials work for the people they serve: good stewards of public funds, with nothing hidden from the voters. As Clerk & Recorder, she'll bring transparency and straight answers to the office that runs our elections and keeps our public records.
