Algonquin Village Board president John Schmitt died last summer. His seat is up for election, and acting village board president Debby Sosine is running uncontested for it.

ALGONQUIN AND LAKE IN THE HILLS, IL — Both the Algonquin and Lake in the Hills village board races have four different candidates vying for three open seats this spring. Election Day is Tuesday and polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. on McHenry County.
The Algonquin Village Board is coming off a rough year. Not only, like many municipalities, have leaders in the community grappled with ways to push through the COVID-19 pandemic, which has wreaked havoc on many local businesses in towns. But the village was also dealt an unexpected blow when longtime village president John Schmitt died last summer.
