Lake in the Hills resident Mike Mahon is not only passing petitions for the Democratic Party nomination for McHenry County Sheriff, but he has an initial campaign piece that has been made available to McHenry County Blog. You see it below (click to enlarge):

The text from the Cook County Deputy Sheriff says the following:

Mike Mahon has been a Deputy Sheriff for Cook County since 1987.

The majority of Mike’s career has been in investigative and supervisory positions.

Mike’s hard work, sound judgment, integrity, and test scores have earned him numerous promotions during different administrations.

He has held positions of increasing responsibility, including:

  • Department of Corrections Officer,
  • Investigator,
  • Supervisor,
  • Fugitive Unit Investigator,
  • Internal Affairs Division Investigator, and
  • Sergeant.

Currently, Mike works in the Sheriff’s Administration for the Office of Integrity and Compliance where he directs efforts related to strategic planning, program evaluations, personnel and productivity studies, and policy and procedure reviews.

Mike lives with his family in Lake in the Hills, where they have resided for the last fourteen years.

So, now three challengers have raised their hands as candidates to challenge three-term Republican incumbent Keith Nygren.

The first was Gus Philpott, who intends to run on the Green Party ticket.

The second was Zane Seipler. He is running against Nygren in the Republican Party’s primary election.
