For Kane County Board District 23, Republican: Auger

This Carpentersville-area seat representing District 23 on the Kane County Board is wide open and has two newcomers running for the Republican nomination.

Maggie Auger is a practicing attorney with 17 years of experience as a member of Algonquin's planning and zoning and economic development commissions, in a leadership role for the last 10.

Donald Moore is a financial adviser with experience on his homeowner's association board.

We believe Auger has a better firsthand grasp of the workings of government and has given more thought to how to address the county's issues - transportation and financial chief among them - than Moore.
