McHenry County attorney Donna Kathryn Kelly ran for a 2nd Appellate Court judgeship.
I didn’t see any literature at the Republican Central Committee distribution day or I would have passed it out in my precinct, as I did for all the candidates who supplied it.
Two days after the election, I received the card in the mail with a first class stamp on it.
The Palatine postmark was January 29th.
So, how did first class mail take just one day short of a week to get delivered?
If I were Donna Kelly, that is what I would put in my letter to the regional Postal Inspector.
Or, maybe the Diane Kelly of Crystal Lake should send the letter. The post card I received had her return address sticker on it.
Such poor delivery is simply outrageous.
Kelly’s electoral performance puts her in a good position to run for judge in McHenry County,
Almost final McHenry County election returns for the February 2, 2010, primary election in which Donna Kelly polled more local votes than 2nd Appellate District winner Mary Schostok.
