Recently, the Kane County Board held the drawing to determine which districts will have one two year term followed by two consecutive 4 year terms, or a 4 year term followed by a two then 4 year. The odd numbered districts (like our District 19) received the first breakdown. What this means is that the 19th will be up for re-election in 2014 and then not again until 2018, and finally in 2022 when the districts are redrawn with new census data. Whether decided by a draw from a hat or a flip of the coin, the outcome is purely by chance.
While some folks may think drawing the short term in front is a bad thing, personally, I don't mind campaigning, and welcome the opportunity to run again in 2 years. The people of our district have been so gracious in their support that it has been a true pleasure walking our neighborhoods. Even our primary opponent has come on board to offer a hand.
I'll see you all this summer as my family and I continue to hit the trail. Enjoy the recent break in the heat, and God Bless.
