Useless job.
My Dad did it in the 80s.
He said it was pointless because so many of the committee where County employees who took orders from Al Jordan.
Now it looks like nobody does it.
Rachel Lawrence? Really?
So many vacancies.
The GOP is DOA in McHenry County.
Half the ‘Republicans’ are Democrats …. Lawrence,
Macrito, Jung, Gottemollex
Why didn’t Cal run?
Is Alan Plant a plant?
George Gow is a true Republican. I vouch for him!
It takes six hours to knock on every door in my precinct.
I have two bad ankles.
Many of the Democrats are cultural Marxists.
Marti Swanson is an actual Marxist.
No joke.
My counting could have been off; feel free to double check.
In 2016, 35 Democrats were elected PC and 153 Republicans were elected PC.
In 2018, the Democrats had 62 precincts filled through election and Republicans had 136.
Today, Democrats are competing for 55 precincts and Republicans are competing for 76.
In 2016, 22 Republicans ran for County Board in the primary.
In 2018, 16 Republicans ran for County Board in the primary.
Today, Republicans have 12 candidates for County Board.
So between 2016 and now, you have about 50 percent fewer Republicans running for County Board and PC.
That sounds like a dying a political party.
@correcting
What it is that you are seeing is a Party flushing RINOs from it’s ranks.
Yes, the Republican Party has lost a few frustrated and burned out souls, but they emerge stronger, better lead, and completely energized to take on the task of not only taking back the 14th and 6th district, but to riding our County of it’s self appointed King and usurper Lying Jack Franks.
Wizard is wrong.
The RINOs are the majority now.
Pletz and Schofield alias “Nanouchka” thought they were filing as democrats.
