In the Republican primary set for Feb. 23, voters will decide who will serve as Algonquin Township's next supervisor, one of only two races for the township -- the second being highway commissioner -- that are actually contested out of the five races on the ballot this spring.
Primary voters will be asked to choose between three Republican candidates for supervisor: Elaine Ramesh, Randolph "Randy" Funk and Kirk Cole. The winner will appear on the April ballot where they are set to run uncontested.
"These days, a lot of people are discouraged with the national political situation and everything else," Ramesh said. "I think good people have to stand up and try and say, 'OK, I'll run for office, I think I could do a good job so let it be me.'"
