T.J. Brown is the endorsed candidate for Northfield Township Committeeperson. Our elected Committeeperson since 2018, T.J. has worked tirelessly to recruit candidates for legislature, township office, Congress, and county office.

In 2018, T.J. ran as a write-in candidate for Northfield Township Republican Committeeman when no Republican had filed for the position. At a time of rapid demographic change and severe political headwinds for Republicans in Illinois, he believed it was essential to preserve a functioning township organization rather than allow it to lapse. He was elected and has since served as committeeman for two terms.

During his tenure, T.J. has focused on the core responsibilities of the office: maintaining compliance with election law, supporting candidates with ballot access and organization, representing the township on the County Central Committee, and ensuring continuity and institutional stability during challenging political cycles.

A volunteer and operative for many political campaigns since the 1990s, T.J. has lived in Northbrook for more than 20 years with his wife, with whom he is raising two children.
