Empowering Greek-American Voices

Established in 1974, the United Hellenic Voters of America (UHVA) is a non-partisan grass roots political organization serving the Greek-American community in the Chicago metropolitan area . The UHVA is dedicated to addressing issues that are vital to Greek-Americans by actively participating in political and community affairs and by establishing close relationships with our elected officials. Focusing primarily on local and state elections the UHVA provides the bridge between the community and local candidates who would otherwise be unknown to the voters. Local elections garner very little publicity marking these candidates as just a name on a ballot. The UHVA meets and interviews these candidates who wish to forge a relationship with the Greek-American community endorsing candidates they feel will benefit them.

Endorsements

The United Hellenic Voters of America has released its official endorsement lists of Democratic and Republican candidates running for local and state offices.

UHVA’s Board of Directors meets with candidates, hears their presentations, conducts independent research, and votes on each endorsement. Party affiliation is not used as a determining factor; our organization is rooted in a longstanding commitment to non-partisanship and evaluates candidates based on leadership, integrity, and positions on issues important to our community.

UHVA serves as a central bridge between the Greek-American community and public officials, providing voters with thoughtfully vetted candidates who will help lead our state and nation toward continued success and stability.

We update this list as we meet with candidates so please check back before you head to the polls!
