Bill LeFew has just sent another signal that he plans to retire as McHenry County Republican Central Committee chairman.

He didn’t file for re-election for precinct committeeman in Chemung Township Precinct 1. Glenda Miller did.

She could withdraw and LeFew could run as a write-in, but, barring that, LeFew would not have standing to remain as chairman of McHenry County Republicans.

No one who is not an elected precinct committee can serve as chairman of the central committee—at least that was the law the last time I looked.
