Sen. Lauzen to run for county board chair

Posted in:

* Very little surprise here

State Sen. Chris Lauzen announced Saturday that he will be leaving the Senate at the end of his term, and will run for Kane County Board Chairman in the 2012 general election.

Lauzen is the second politician to declare his candidacy for the position. On Tuesday, Geneva Mayor Kevin Burns became the first to announce his run for board chairman.

Current County Board Chairman Karen McConnaughay has announced she will run for the state Senate in the 33rd District.

More than 800 people turned up at Lauzen’s annual Porky’s Picnic barbecue fund-raiser on Saturday evening to hear the anticipated announcement. Lauzen, an Aurora Republican, represents the 25th Senate District, but supporters from across the state were on hand to offer their good wishes.
