District 6 Democrat Ryan Heuser Has $4,100 in the Bank, Slot Machines May Be the Motivation
Signaling that the McHenry County Board's vote against video poker (slot machines) in bars in unincorporated McHenry County may be an issue is this FaceBook post by Local 150. Click to enlarge.

Fueled by labor union contributions, District 6 McHenry County Board Democratic Party candidate Ryan Heuser has a good start toward a decent campaign.
The candidate, who, to the best of my knowledge, has not surfaced publicly, has a Marengo address.
That part of District 6 was left out of the Republican Party primary sweepstakes when Marengo Alderman Corey Brackmann and former Huntley School Board President Shawn Green didn’t make the cut.
Here’s the union support:
-
Ryan Heuser
$2,500 – International Operating Engineers Local 150, Countryside
- $800 – International Operating Engineers Local 150, Countryside, ( 20 4 by 8 foot sheets of plywood)
- $500 – International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 399, Chicago
- $500 – Northeastern Illinois Federation of Labor, Gurnee
- $300 – Laborers International Union of North America (LIUNA) Local 1035, Marengo
- $200 – International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 177, Crystal Lake
In addition, Plote Construction donated $250.
The campaign got serious with the Local 150 contributions during the third week of February.
Heuser ran second to former McHenry County College Board President Scott Summers.
Here are the final Democratic Party McHenry County Board Primary Election results for District 6
Jay Kadakia, who served as Huntley Village Trustee ran third.
However, all of the Democrats ran worse than the man who placed last in the spring GOP primary election.
