CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE ABBOUD TO SPEAK TO DEMOCRATS

Crystal Lake—The Democratic Party of McHenry County will welcome 16th Congressional District Candidate Robert Abboud to address the Central Committee at its meeting on Wednesday, January 16. The meeting will be called to order at the Farm Bureau Building, 1102 McConnell Road in Woodstock at 7:00 PM. Abboud’s presentation will be the first item on the agenda.

Abboud, Village President of Barrington Hills, serves as an executive member of both the Barrington Area Council of Governments and the McHenry Council of Governments.

The 16th Congressional District extends to Crystal Lake, Algonquin, and Barrington Hills on its eastern border, and west to the Mississippi River. Representative Donald Manzullo (R-Rockford) is the incumbent.

Abboud is running unopposed as a Democrat on the ballot in the February 5 Primary Election.

“I believe the citizens of the 16th deserve the best representation possible, and Manuzullo has consistently failed to fight for the needs of his district,” Abboud said recently. “Rather than be the prime advocate for our region, Manzullo has consistently followed policies that have failed to have a positive impact on our area. Citizens of the 16th congressional district deserve a voice in Washington and I intend to be that voice.”

Abboud is the principle owner of RGA Labs, a research and development firm that specializes in the engineering, consulting and manufacturing of specially designed equipment for nuclear technology facilities. He has more than thirty years experience and expertise in the areas of developing safe and efficient alternative energy sources.

“This has been an outstanding election cycle for the McHenry County Democrats,” said Chairman Tom Cynor. “Mr. Abboud is a prime example of the exceptional caliber of candidates that we can count on to drive change in McHenry County. I am very pleased that he has made himself available for our central committee meeting.”

The meeting is open to the press and public.
