Lake County District 7: Carlson

Republican incumbent Steve Carlson faces Democrat challenger David Weinstein in the race for the District 7 seat on the Lake County Board and Forest Preserve Board.

Both candidates agree on issues like controlling spending and lowering property taxes, but Weinstein fails to outline specifics on how to do this.

He knows the issues but is vague with solutions. Carlson is well-spoken and understands the issues facing the county and his district. He details specific plans for solving problems that plague the county.

He shows a passion for the job and demonstrates a full commitment to the board.

Carlson is endorsed.

District 7 serves Gurnee, Park City and Old Mill Creek,
