County Board District 6

By Mac McIntyre · Comments (4) · Saturday, February 4th, 2012

If you scroll through the sample ballots for area Democrats you won’t see many contested races. In fact, in DeKalb County, there are two. Dennis Anderson and Jonathan Farnick are squaring off for their party’s nomination to challenge Randy Hultgren (R) in the 14th Congressional District. The other contested race is for District 6 on the DeKalb County Board. Three Democrats are seeking the two seats open for election. The two incumbents seeking re-election are Ruth Anne Tobias and Bob Brown. Craig Roman is challenging for one of those seats. (more…)  Read More...

DeKalb County State’s Attorney

By Mac McIntyre · Comments (0) · Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

One of the more interesting primary races in DeKalb County is that between Republicans, Clay Campbell, the incumbent and Sean P. Smith. That’s in part because the Democrats have no candidates running in the primary elections which leads to speculation as to who their caucus might select to face the winner of the Republican primary. Since no Democratic candidates are running in the March 2012 primary election for the States Attorney office the DeKalb County Democrats have until Monday, June 4, 2012 to nominate (or not) a candidate. (10 ILCS 5/7-61, 8-17) (more…)  Read More...

Illinois U.S. Congressional District 14

By Mac McIntyre · Comments (0) · Thursday, January 26th, 2012

The 14th U.S. Congressional District in Illinois was redrawn to include McHenry County and parts of DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, and Will counties (see map below). Republican Randy Hultgren, who was first elected to represent the 14th district in 2010, will run for re-election. For a time it looked like a lively campaign between Hultgren and Joe Walsh, who had planned to challenge Hultgren. Walsh will instead seek re-election in the redrawn 8th district. Hultgren will be unopposed in the Republican primary.

Dennis Anderson, a public health researcher and trustee of the International Breast Cancer Research Foundation; and Jonathan Farnick, a computer support technician, will seek the Democratic nomination to challenge Hultgren.  (more…) Read More...
