Former Lake in the Hills Trustee and two-term McHenry County Board member Paula Yensen ecked out a victory in her attempt to remain in the public eye.
If Democrat State Rep. Jack Franks is telling the truth when he says that he will not run in the at-large County Board Chairmanship race, then Democrat Yensen provides a fallback candidate. (Of course, Franks broke his campaign promise to serve only three terms, so there is reason for skepticism about his statement about his non-interest in the County Board race.)
In any event, Yensen place third behind incumbent Board members Ray Bodganowski and Russ Ruzanski.
