Carter is best Republican

January 24, 2008

Bonnie Thomson Carter's, R-5th, enthusiasm and dedication to public service have served constituents well in her work on the Lake County Board. We believe she should be the Republicans' nominee for the County Board.

Her involvement with helping Wauconda Township change from contaminated wells to the village of Wauconda's water supply was extremely important to residents. While the four-year process was grueling, she was there helping residents every step of the way.

She has also served admirably as president of the Lake County Forest Preserve Board. She was instrumental in helping the forest preserve purchase land to keep it from being developed. She is also helping in the effort to get an equestrian center built here, which would be used for the 2016 Summer Olympics and beyond.

Her opponent, Kirk Denz, is a hard-working and hard-charging opponent, with a proven ability to accomplish tasks while working with government agencies. But his views overall don't represent the majority of Republicans in Lake County or its 5th District.

Bonnie Thomson Carter is endorsed.
