Election season in Barrington Hills is gearing up as three of the four Riding Club affiliated candidates have filed organizational paperwork with the Illinois State Board of Elections. Newcomer Louis Iacovelli (challenging incumbent Village President Martin McLaughlin) and trustee candidates Robert Zubak and Paula Jacobsen have formed a new political committee, called “Your Barrington Hills”, according to recently filed documents, as can be seen here.
Iacovelli will serve as committee chairman and Zubak will act as treasurer. So far, no campaign contributions have been reported.
It seems as though the other Riding Club candidate, former trustee Elaine Ramesh has not yet formed her own separate political committee. Her previous campaign committee was closed in 2009.
Martin McLaughlin and incumbent Trustee Colleen Konicek Hannigan appear to be running again under their successful “Unite Barrington Hills” moniker, and according to their recently filed D-2 quarterly report, their committee currently has about $2500 in the bank.
Incidentally, the 2015 political committee for the defeated Save Open Space (team of Patty Meroni, Karen Selman and Mary Naumann still has around $12,000 on its books. Readers can only guess which candidates that money will go to support. View the SOS report here.
We’ll keep readers updated on all the candidate developments between now and the April 4th, 2017 election.
