DuPage Election Commission bill signing photo op missing key contributor

This Monday, Governor Rauner will do a photo op bill signing with DuPage County Board Chair Dan Cronin to abolish the DuPage Election Commission. One person will be conspicuously absent from the signing. She is Jean Kaczmarek of Glen Ellyn, Democratic candidate for DuPage County Clerk. Jean epitomizes good civic duty, having spent the last ten years working independently to highlight inefficiencies in the DuPage Clerk's office and need for it to absorb Election Commission duties, providing better voter services at less cost. Jean's tireless efforts have paid off with one major oversight: Jean's decade long contributions keeping this issue public have been totally ignored by the Republican governor and county board chair, allowing them to hog all the credit. Jean Kaczmarek must not go unrecognized for her contributions to good governance in DuPage County. We would all benefit if our elected officials would model their governance on her dedication and perseverance. Voters can recognize Jean's efforts by electing her DuPage County Clerk, November 6.
