When I wrote the story about the Citizens for Life pro-life endorsements yesterday, there was an omission that deserves noting.
Instead of taking a dive this year, the Republican Party has put up a candidate to challenge veteran Democratic Party State Representative Jack Franks.
His name is John O’Neill and he holds three elective offices in the McHenry area. I left him out of the original (but now modified) post.
He is on the grade school board, the library board and is a GOP precinct committeeman.
I left him out of the article.
So you can see the differences on the abortion issue among those in legislative office and those running in McHenry County, a summary of the local ratings follows:
“Fully Pro-Life”
- Mike Tryon (R-Crystal Lake)
- John O’Neill (R-McHenry)
“Unknown (Did not answer or complete survey)”
- Jack Franks (D-Marengo)
- Bob Kaempfe (R-Crystal Lake)
- Mark Beaubien (R-Barrington Hills)

John O’Neill is top left. On the right is Mike Tryon. From left to right on the bottom are Bob Kaempfe, Mark Beaubien and Jack Franks.
