Two McHenry County Board candidates were the final politicians in the Johnsburg Saufen und Spiel Parade on 9-11.

First came Sue Draffkorn.

When I asked if Sue Draffkorn were running for re-election, she said she was.

As she rode past, I asked if she were running for-re-election. (All County Board candidate seats are on the ballot in 2012 because of re-apportionment.)

She said she running for the office.

McHenry County Board member John Hammerand was advancing his chances for re-election by riding with his wife Cheryl in the Johnsburg Parade.

The other two incumbents, Pete Merkel and Sandy Salgado were not in the parade this year. Maybe they won by so much last year that they didn’t see the need.

• Jeff Thirtyacre (D) 5157 (23.31%)
• Sandra Salgado (R) 8351 (37.75%)
• Pete Merkel (R) 8611 (38.93%)
