Forest Preserve Board Election November 6, 2012
The second election of Commissioners for the Winnebago County Forest Preserve District board is coming up quickly! Eight candidates are running for three open seats in the Nov. 6 election. Lenae Weichel, Mike Eickman, Commissioner Audrey Johnson, Jeff Tilly and Eric Stromberg will compete for two seats, each a six-year term on the board. Commissioner Cheryl Maggio, Commissioner Lee Johnson and Bev Moore will compete for a two-year term. The two-year candidates are vying for the remainder of the term left by Commissioner Jay Ferraro who moved out of the county in 2011. The six-year terms are open due to incumbents Audrey Johnson and Cheryl Maggio completing the two-year terms they were elected to in 2010.
