Democrat Jim Kennedy at a McHenry County Board meeting.

Now there are three Democratic Party members of the McHenry County Board.

When new board members are sworn in, there will be only two.

Lake in the Hills’ Jim Kennedy has lost his bid for re-election to the man whom Paula Yensen, the other Lake in the Hills Democrat. beat two years ago.

The top vote getter so far in District 5 is John Jung.  Incumbent Tina Hill is far enough ahead of Kennedy to win.

This leaves Yensen and Kathy Bergan Schmidt as the only members of the Democratic Party who will serve on the McHenry County Board for the next two years.

John Jung took his energetic campaign to Jim Kennedy's back yard when he walked and ran in the Lake in the Hills parade.
