Nick Chirikos

Kathy Bergan Schmidt

With the rumor circulating that the Democrats will file at least one candidate in each of the six McHenry County Board districts, two have now filed petitions with the County Clerk’s Office.

The first was newcomer Nick Chirikos from District 1.

Filing at the end of the week was District 2 incumbent Kathy Bergan Schmidt. She was head of the McHenry County Democratic Party Central Committee when she won.
