Two Coffee
With the Candidates events will be held at the Hidden Pearl Café, 1250
N. Green Street in McHenry, on Saturday, January 22 and
Saturday January 29 each from 10 am to 7 pm. Candidates
will be in attendance for public discussion each day from 10 am to
2 pm.
On
Saturday January 22 candidates making presentations will be Congressman Brad
Schneider running in the new 10th District, State Supreme Court
candidates Rene Cruz, Elizabeth Rochford and Nancy Rotering,
Appellate Court candidate Mike Cortina, McHenry County Clerk
candidates Drew Georgi and Mary Mahady, and District 3 County
Board Member Kelli Wegner.
The
next Saturday will feature Congressman Bill Foster now running in the 11th
Congressional District and other candidates to be named later.
The
events are hosted by Democratic Precinct Committee Person Terry
Kappel. Kappel said:
Due of the delay
in final census figures and late redistricting nominating petitions for
candidates on the ballot for the June 28 Primary have only just begun to be circulated.
I have created this in-person event for Democratic voters to hear from the
candidates whose new districts will include McHenry County as well as local
candidates. It’s a chance for voters to sign multiple nominating petitions for
candidates in a warm café rather than with their front door open for a
volunteer in the middle of winter.
Petitions will be available
for signature throughout each event.
After
candidate questions and answers live music will be provided by
Democratic District 2 Chair John Labaj. Complimentary vegetarian chili,
meatballs, and coffee will also be available.
Masks and proof
of vaccination are required to attend the candidate forums. For
more information contact Terry Kappel at 779 302-6212 or email tkappel@hotmail.com.
Thank you for sharing this information, Patrick. The photo at the top is of the original location in McHenry, a half a block south on Green Street from the current, much larger venue. 1250 n. Green street.
