- U.S. Senate: Mert Bernstein
- 1st District: Bill Clay
- 3rd District: Richard Gephardt
- Governor: Vincent C. Schoemehl, Jr.
- Lt. Governor: Roger Wilson
- Secretary of State: Howard Wagner
- State Treasurer: Bob Holden
- Attorney General: Mike Wolff
- 57th District: O.L. Shelton
- 61st District: Paula Carter
- 64th District: Nancy Farmer
- 65th District: Tony Ribaudo

- 28th Ward Committeewoman: Rosemarie Storey
- Circuit Attorney: Dee Joyce Hayes
- City Treasurer: Larry Williams
- Sheriff: Jim Murphy

The Ward endorsements for governor and committeepeople were made a number of months earlier. If you need any information regarding the election or need help getting to the polls, call Bruce Yampolsky at 454-1863, or Rosemarie Storey at 727-1727.
