Endorsement: Kopp for Kane County Board, Dist. 4

In Kane County District 4, Democrat Angela Clay Thomas, 45, is facing off against John Kopp, 33, who was slated by the Republican Party after the primary.

In the primary, we endorsed incumbent Democrat Brian Pollock, whom Clay knocked off.

There still is infighting from that among Aurora Democrats, which could create an opening for Kopp, a candidate whose family has deep roots in the community.

The two have mostly similar positions on the issues.

Clay, honed by the primary, came across as a stronger candidate than before.

But Kopp still has a stronger position against a levy increase and his interest in city-county incentives to draw business to the west side of Aurora shows initiative.

Kopp is endorsed.
