Endorsements

I'm excited to endorse Austin May for the McHenry County Board. He has the energy and heart for public service as well as roots in our community. I know he will represent his district well and be a strong voice for the people of McHenry County.

Suzanne Ness
Illinois State Representative

Austin May embodies the best of public service: a lifelong Midwesterner who embodies our values, a proven leader who has served abroad and at home, and a relentless advocate for principled governance. He brings the discipline and creative problem-solving we need to move McHenry County toward a brighter tomorrow.

Brad Schneider
Congressman, Illinois 10th District

Austin represents the exact type of new voice and strong advocacy District 5 needs. Born in Woodstock and raised on a family farm in Richmond, his roots are firmly planted in our community's values. Please join me in supporting Austin May for County Board.

Gloria Van Hof
McHenry County Board Member, District 2

Austin stands for local solutions and economic development to lower property taxes instead of just borrowing from tomorrow. His dedication to public service and ability to bring people together will pave the way forward for McHenry County.

Kelli Wegener
Former McHenry County Board Member, District 5

At a time when our communities and our democracy face real challenges, veterans bring proven leadership, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to the Constitution and the country.
