The McHenry County Republican Central Committee has established campaign headquarters a couple of stores down from Joseph’s Market in the Crystal Lake Plaza.
There is not sign above the door of McHenry County Republican Headquarters, but the windows are plastered with Republican signs.
It has a lot of space.
There is no shortage of space in the store occupied by McHenry County Republicans.
There were candidates present. I saw Mike Rein, Tina Hill and John Jung, who are running for the McHenry County Board from District 5, plus District 2’s Donna Kurtz. Unopposed County Auditor candidate also was present.
District 5 candidates for the McHenry County Board chow down at a table where Precinct Committeemen could pick up their literature.
Joe Rosner, who is running a write-in campaign against Democrat Jack Franks was talking to committeemen.
Chemung 4 Precinct Committeeman Bill Matteson chats with Joe Rosner, Write-In candidate for State Rep. against Democrat Jack Franks. Matteson is descended from an Illinois governor who served in the 1850’s.
Jim Harrison, a candidate for Sheriff in 2014 was meeting party workers.
McHenry County Sheriff’s candidate Jim Harrison and his wife Carolyn talk with Crystal Lake Precinct Committeeman Tom McDermott.
I did notice the presence of a sign saying that another candidate for Sheriff, Andy Zinke, had paid for the light supper.
A small sign was on the front table with Andy Zinke’s name on it.
No literature for any state legislative candidate in my area. Both State Senator Pam Althoff and State Rep. candidate Barb Wheeler are unopposed.
Didn’t see any literature for any of the unopposed Republican candidates for countywide office either. (There were about 100 pieces of State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi’s literature, but since I have 225 houses, I didn’t take them.)
Looks like they could have used some new volunteers in the party.
