Sue Klinkhamer wins the Democrat primary for Kane County Chairman Tuesday night, according to unofficial results.
Sue Klinkhamer, with about a 1,300 vote lead over opponent Bill Sarto, took the Kane County Chairman Democrat primary Tuesday, with all precincts reporting.

Klinkhamer said she was "glad the primary is over" but declined to comment about potentially facing a Republican in November's general election. “I’m going to kind of regroup for the fall," she said. Sarto on Tuesday said results "didn't look good." The former …

Whenever I get a robo call I just hang up. Total waste of time to put your resources into using them in your campaign. I can't imagine ever listening to one. Basically, our home phone is a catch all for telemarketing calls, voice messages, etc.... Cell phones are primary in my household. Don't even know why we have a home number. I guess it's just hard to let them go. If your running a campaign … more ›
