From a Friend of McHenry County Blog:
Grogan Beats and Replaces Salvi
The Chairman race was won by district 6 SCC member Bob Grogan who defeated incumbent Kathy Salvi.
The vote was 9-8 for Grogan, however, that doesn’t matter since weighted vote is used.
Grogan received 61.1% of the weighted vote
The State Central Committee met on Monday, May 18 to pick its executive committee.
The Secretary race was won by Keith Brin who serves as the 10th district SCC member.
The Treasurer race was won by Cindy Lamar who is the 13th district SCC member.
The Vice Chairman race was won by Zach Emberton who represents the 15th district on the SCC.
Deputy SCC members were also approved. The Illinois Republican Party, according to its bylaws, requires that deputies be the opposite gender of the SCC member, so if the SCC member is a male he has to pick a female and vice versa.
For McHenry County,
I am told that former Illinois Comptroller Leslie Munger will be the deputy in the 10th district serving with Keith Brin, that former congressional candidate Susan Altman will be the deputy in the 11th district with Chris Yaeger, and that Jan Klaas will be the deputy in the 16th district with Jim Rule.
I did not get a deputy name for the 9th district which is also in McHenry County, and I was told that some SCC members did not nominate deputies. Joan LaSonde is the SCC member in the 9th district.
The Executive Director of the Illinois Republican Party is stepping down for health reasons.
McHenry County Blog contributors and readers will put Matt Janes in our prayers.
