Elections!

Elgin’s City Council elections are quickly approaching. Since the Census determined our population has cracked 100,000, we have two brand-new seats, plus two incumbents facing re-election.

I’ve been busily trying to learn about the candidates, so I created a website to help manage the growing amounts of information. I also included links to each candidate’s web presence (or lack thereof) so you can go straight to the source to learn their positions.

Early primary voting began today ahead of the February 26 primary. The general election will be April 9.

Remember, voting is the best way to make a difference.
