Tina Hill

With three members of the McHenry County Board seeking to lead its members for the last two years when the twenty-four members will have more say than you and I have at the ballot box, it seems appropriate to take a look at campaign finance.

Current Chairwoman Tina Hill, Joe Gottemoller and John Hammerand are seeking the position.

Also in the mix is her avowed desired to run for Recorder of Deeds in 2016.
