The League of Women Voters of DeKalb County and WNIJ invite you to a virtual, public forum where candidates for the DeKalb Township Supervisor will have the opportunity to speak. This forum will feature ballot candidate Mary Hess and write-in candidate Jim Luebke. Erin Roeper of the Homewood/Flossmoor League will moderate.
A man running for DeKalb Township Supervisor is challenging a decision by the township to not certify him for the ballot.
Jim Luebke filed a Statement of Economic Interest before the designated deadline, but the accompanying receipt of his filing was not in his packet by that date. Luebke said Township Clerk Lynne Kunde initially approved his candidacy after verifying the Statement was submitted on time.
“She determined that I had substantially complied, and that she would certify me, and per her resignation letter, she received notice that the township and she would be sued if she did so, he said, and so then she resigned, having not certified anyone rather than do something she thought was wrong.”
