Write-In Candidates in DeKalb County So Far

*Update: Final list of candidates is here.*

In the article, “DeKalb County Certifies Preliminary Ballot,” the county clerk stated that there are about six people who have filed as write-in candidates in April’s Consolidated Election so far. As of 9:30 a.m. today there were indeed exactly six:

Michael Franckowiak – Genoa Park Board

Veronica Bruhl – Kaneland Board of Education

Rick Goken – Shabbona Township Trustee

Virginia E. Toppe – Malta Library Trustee

Charles G. Rose – DeKalb Regional Board of Education

Antonio C. Amaya – Genoa Park Board

We could see additional declarations of write-in campaigns this week because the deadline is Thursday, after which the final list of candidates will be posted at dekalbclerk.com.

While I’m at it I’d like to recognize John Acardo and the Office of the DeKalb County Clerk & Recorder for their high standards of professionalism and customer service. Nobody answers requests for information faster than they do, the communication is very good and I like how I am treated.
