There is a new threshold below which a candidate does not have to file a campaign disclosure form.

It is now $5,000 for new committees, up from $3,000 previously.

In the western, mostly rural (with apologies to Marengo, Harvard, Union and parts of Huntley) McHenry County Board District 6, three people are facing off in the Republican Primary Election.

In ballot order, they are

• Ersel C. Schuster, Woodstock
• Larry W. Smith, Harvard
• Michele Aavang, Woodstock

None have filed anything with the Illinois State Board of Elections.
