Precinct Committeemen Contests Few Except in McHenry Township GOP

Haven’t done a count, but it seems that fewer people are running for party precinct committeemen.

There are some contests, however, which are listed below.

Most are in McHenry Township, where the Old Establishment, remnants of the Al Jourdan organization, lost control of the Central Committee and of the nomination process for the last McHenry Township election.

The new folks held a caucus and nominated those not aligned with the organization Jourdan put together.  The Old Establishment won the Supervisor and Road Commissioner slots, but not the Clerk or the four Township Trustees.

Subsequently, State Senator Pam Althoff introduced legislation that prohibited weighted voting in party caucuses.

  1. Correction in Algonquin 18
    Melissa Sanchez was a former township trustee, not a Township Clerk

  2. Correction: McHenry 31, Barla was not a former township clerk.

    He was a former township trustee who switched from Republican to Independent.

    he’s a real down to earth guy and would still be a township trustee today if Craig Adams hadn’t thrown him under the bus to save his own hide.

    Anderson & Co. were all off the ballot, until Adams made his mystery deal to keep himself on the ballot and at the troff.

    In order for Adams to stay on the ballot, all the tossed off Anderson Trustees had to be put back on.

    Weird.

  3. Republican Party, at least in IL, is irrelevant.

    When politics starts to get real (as in ’76 … that is 1776) let me know.

    Rauner, the sanctuary whore, who masquerades as a ‘Christian,’ but is really a liberal Jewish convert who ‘leads’ IL to perdition. http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/220652/jewish-billionaire-rauner-wins-gop-nomination-for-illinois-governor.html

    Isn’t that Franks’ game, too, in a way?

    Pretend he’s a Christian at different local events, but OMG, don’t you dare EVER bring up his actual religion, or where he’s coming from, that’s a hate crime of some sort.

    Our forebears would laugh at our spinelessness and what we will now accept ……like this Palatine HS ‘transgender’ mentally disturbed boy, who’s mom abets and celebrates his utter sickness, and who demands the craziest, most outlandish, trivial things that the MSM gushes as THE BIG ISSUE OF THE DAY!

    Geeshhh. how weak-minded we’ve become.

    You people deserve Franks, etc. You cant even front decent County Board candidates (with a few exceptions)

  4. Holy smokes!

    Swordfish, what does this have to do with precinct mopes?

    I do like the posts, tho.

  5. Swordfish, you and OldManWinter post at least once a week something highly questionable about Jews.

    Why are you antisemitic?

  6. I am anti-Zionist, myself. You want to accuse me of that, too Moderate? You nitwit!
