Crystal Laker Donna Kurtz was up for her third election to the County Board in six years.
She and Jim Heisler were unopposed so it is no surprise that campaign finances reported to the Illinois State Board of Elections was slim.
On July 1st, she had $7,603.78 in her campaign bank account.
During the subsequent three months, she had a transfer from another political committee of $41.83 and a contribution in-kind worth $58.
$665.96 was spent on stuff that cost less than $150 per transaction.
She spent the election season helping the Republican Party and other candidates.
Her entire campaign for County Board seemed to consist of yard signs at Election Day polling places.
Nevertheless, Kurtz ran ahead of her running mate Jim Heisler. He reported spending nothing and posted no signs on Election Day.
“Her entire campaign for County Board seemed to consist of yard signs at Election Day polling places.”
Well, that and riding the coattails of her mother.
Why would she spend even a dime?
If the two are running unopposed, how could they possibly lose?
