Cliff Surges

With his petitions for the State Senate district that pushed into Crystal Lake from the South to the Crystal Lake County Club under challenge, virtually unknown challenger Craig Powers says he has withdrawn from the Republican Party primary election.
The State Board of Elections web site says the Geneva man withdrew two days before Christmas, last Friday.
That narrows down the GOP primary field to Karen McConnaughay, Kane County Board Chairman, and Cliff Surges, a Village Trustee in Gilberts.
Powers told the Kane County Chronicle that he would run as an Independent against the winner in the general election.
Formerly announced candidate for the seat, Chad Koppie, who did not file petitions, challenged Powers’ signatures.
Very Smart
Just a spoiler. No agenda, except to reduce the likelihood of a Republican getting in. Spoiler politics. He could part the Fox River and he wouldn’t get my vote.
