Long-Time Incumbent Virginia Peschke in Trouble in County Board District 5

John Jung and Tina Hill, two of three Republican incumbents are positioned to be re-nominated in today’s primary election, but the third is in fifth place with 44% of the vote counted.

Newcomer Mike Skala holds first place.

Long-time member Virginia Peschke ran first the last primary election, even though she waited until less than two weeks before the election to put out signs.

I didn’t see any signs this year, but didn’t foray far into District 5 at the end of the campaign.

In any event newcomer, Michael Rein is leading her by 8 votes, so this is going to be a nail-biter.

Newcomers Mike Skala and Michael Rein are running ahead of veteran Virginia Peschke in the race that will eliminate the bottom place finisher.

With all of the precinct of McHenry County Board District 5 reporting, but early and absentee votes not having been folded in, newcomer Michael Rein is edging out veteran Virginia Peschke by a mere 26 votes.
