The citizens living in the 2nd District in DuPage County are very lucky to have dedicated individuals (like Mark, Julie, MaryLynn, Kim, Coco) and the law firm of Donner and Co (Wheaton, IL) that took the time to attend last's Friday (6/22/12) hearing  at the DuPage County Election Commission.

 

Their testimony and participation in the hearing on the challenge of my documentation and right to be on the ballot helped support a fair, open and legal election. The fact that my candidacy was being supported which kept me on the ballot was the proverbial "icing on the cake." Thank you again to the hundreds of citizens that signed my nominating petitions, the volunteer petition passers and the notaries involved for supporting the idea that new ideas and people should be considered in the important operations of the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County.

 

The new DuPage County Election Commission board overruled all the challenger's objections and agreed that I had sufficient signatures (184) plus the documentation that I completed which accompanied my nominating petitions were all legal and acceptable. With some of the forms not having been completed to the liking of the challenger the Election Commission board did not agree. I thought they were thorough and fair in any evaluations.

 

Now that the challenge has been overruled we can proceed and present new ideas to the voters of the 2nd District of DuPage County. The 2nd District includes all or parts of Villa Park, Lombard, Elmhurst, Lisle, Oakbrook Terrace, Oak Brook, Downers Grove, Clarendon Hills, Woodridge and Hinsdale. Feel free to pass along this email.
