In one of the most hotly contested Precinct Committeeman races in McHenry County, newcomer Jennifer Weinhammer defeated Robert Miller 56.4% to 43.4%.
Miller, brother of Algonquin Township Road Commissioner Bob Miller and sister-in-law of defeated McHenry County Board member Anna May Miller, was the incumbent.
The vote was 214 to 164.
Jennifer Weinhammer beat David Miller for Republican Precinct Committeeman in Algonquin 17.
Of historical note, this is the precinct that was State Senator Jack Schaffer’s political base.
Congratulations Jennifer.
I know you really had a lot of people reaching out to you.
I’m glad they came thru for you.
You were the first one to get out her introduction letter out.
A well prepared race.
You will go far.
Cal, David not Robert.
Brother-In-Law to Anna.
Late night wasn’t it old dude?
Yes, Cal lost his mind last night BC what he has written makes no sense.
Looking forward to what Jennifer does as Precinct committeeman, new friends and power, and if runs for another elected position. It is fun watching a newbie.
Perhaps Davids letter or large sign may have angered voters enough to get to the polls.
Interesting to follow and will be in the future.
Thanks Cal.
And I was and am feeling it.
The first American History exam at Oberlin College, I stayed up all night studying.
Got an A-.
The second exam I got a good night’s sleep.
A.
I don’t think I have pulled an all-nighter since.
I wouldn’t be up now, if someone from out of the ara hadn’t read my blog before calling me.
WTG! Algonquin is getting a clue!
In a more enlightened age the Millers would have been run out of town on a rail, or tarred & feathered.
I suppose in the wimpy 21st Century this is the best we could do … for now!
