Testimonials
“Annette is a true champion for small businesses in Highland Park. She listens to business owners, understands the challenges we face, and has the determination to turn ideas into action instead of just making promises. Highland Park needs new leadership, and I believe Annette is the person who can bring the positive change our community deserves.”
Jeff Hoobler
Former Councilmember and Local Business Owner
“Annette would make an outstanding mayor of Highland Park! She is deeply committed to HP and to doing what's right. She brings integrity, poise, warmth and a proven track record of recruiting fresh, independent, thoughtful and hardworking voices into city government. She works constructively with anyone and doesn't hold grudges -- or put personal ambition above respect for the public! We wholly and unequivocally support her for mayor.”

Attorney/Community Activist
“I’ve learned so much and have great respect for Annette. She listens carefully, asks difficult questions, and brings together residents, business owners, educators, and public officials to find practical solutions. She believes good government is transparent, collaborative, and is willing to challenge the status quo when better ideas emerge. She is a great choice to help drive Highland Park forward.”
Jon Center
Highland Park City Councilmember
“Annette’s consistent focus is on creating a vibrant, walkable downtown with an intentional mix of housing, restaurants, retail, cultural amenities, and public spaces that serve residents while attracting visitors and investment. We've worked hard to make economic development a city priority during our tenure. ”
Andres Tapia
Highland Park City Councilmember
“There are people who care about being seen doing the right thing, and then there are people who do the right thing. Annette Lidawer has always been the latter. That is one of the things I have always admired most about Annette. Annette genuinely cares about this city and the people who call it home. She shows up. She speaks her mind even when it might not be what someone wants to hear. And she does what she believes is right because that is simply who she is. Doing the right thing and doing the popular thing are too often confused, Annette understands the difference. Her commitment to Highland Park is demonstrated consistently through her actions. I am proud to call Annette my friend, and even prouder to endorse her for Mayor of Highland Park. ”
