Anyway, it’s clear that Sheriff Nygren has the biggest dog in the PAC race.
The only name on the list unfamiliar to me was Charles Weech. He is running for judge.
Notice that the McHenry County Republican Central Committee is not on the list. It’s a good thing that it has a fund raiser this Friday, because there was only $2,564.63 in the bank on January 1st. Even if one adds in the $553.01 in the McHenry County Republican Foundation, a subsidiary fund raising entity formed to protect those in control from an unlikely insurgency, the GOP has only dollars over $3,100.
County Democrats had $1,532.49 on hand.
