Two good choices for county board

DuPage County Board members have a very important responsibility to the communities within the county. In county board District 2, there are no incumbents running for re-election. District 2 will have three new members.

There is an impressive field of eight candidates running for these three seats. With so many excellent choices, I would like to recommend two candidates with whom I’ve had an opportunity to work with and know very well.

Trustee Zachary Wilson of Lombard has been an extremely impressive colleague of mine on the Lombard village board. He is a proven fiscal watchdog who has scrutinized all village expenditures, line by line in our local budget. He has made our entire board better through his efforts.

Commissioner Michael Loftus of Lisle is an equally impressive candidate who has served on the DuPage County zoning board for many years. He’s logical, thoughtful and has outstanding leadership skills.

There are many excellent choices and you are voting for three members this time. Both Zachary Wilson and Michael Loftus are especially well qualified. Please consider them highly recommended as two of your three very precious choices.
