McHenry County Board District 6 – Ersel C. Schuster

  1. Why are you running?

“Two basic concerns motivate me to be involved in county government. Our county faces tremendous challenges: transportation, groundwater protection, development and numerous other issues. While attending county board meetings I witness to many members lacking an in-depth understand of these issues and little desire to learn. Further, there is an over-reach of government in attempting to be “everything to everyone” at the expense of those paying the bill. My strength is to study and understand the issues; I have the time to do the job; and, I have a reputation of being available and responsive to my constituents.”

  1. What issues are most important and why?

“Preserving our agricultural base, our county’s largest industry, is my top concern. Not only is this a resource of food products; it is a major contributor to replenishing our groundwater supplies, life line to the region. There is a serious need for elected officials to set aside political power struggles over groundwater; and grasp the connection and rationale for preserving the agricultural base. To not do so should have consequences. Elected officials from our villages, municipalities, and the county, must act responsibly as they pursue development as this is the underlying cause of our looming water supply problems.”
