McHENRY COUNTY DEMS--Wednesday Meeting Will Caucus Candidates
When the McHenry County Democratic Central Committee meets on Wednesday, March 19 at the McHenry County Farm Bureau Building, 1102 McConnell Road, Woodstock at 7 p.m. the main order of business will be voting to caucus candidates on to the November general election ballot.
The party’s Executive Board interviewed candidates for a number of offices at its March 12 meeting. The board voted unanimously to make recommendations to the Central Committee for the offices of State’s Attorney and Auditor. It also unanimously recommended two candidates for County Board to the Precinct Representatives of District 2, who will caucus at the meeting.
The names of candidates will be presented at the meeting and each candidate will have an opportunity to speak.
“We are presenting to the Party highly qualified candidates who will give voters a real alternative on November 4th,” said County Chair Kathleen Bergan Schmidt. “This election is going to be about change, and nothing needs changing more than the culture of insider business as usual offered by the Republicans in McHenry County.”
If the nominations are approved, as expected, on Wednesday, McHenry County voters will be presented with Democratic candidates in the 8th and 16th Congressional Districts; the 26th State Senate District; the 52nd, 63rd, and 64th General Assembly Districts; for State’s Attorney, Auditor, and Coroner; and at least one candidate in each of the six County Board districts.
“The days of voters not having a Democratic Party choice in McHenry County are over,” Bergan Schmidt declared.
