Henry Jakobsze filed a complaint with the State Board of Elections on Tuesday alleging that the Downers Grove Community Advocates and Citizens for Beckman violated the Campaign Financing Act.
Editor's Note: This article originally stated that the District 99 race was uncontested after Martin Gorski and Henry Jakobsze announced they had withdrawn. In fact, both candidates appeared on the April 9 ballot due to missing the official deadline to withdraw. We regret the error. A former candidate for the Downers Grove Community High School District 99 school board has filed a formal complaint against two local political groups who he claims endorsed him without his permission. Henry Jakobsze filed a complaint with the Illinois State Board of Elections on Tuesday, the same day as the consolidated election, alleging that Citizens for (Julia) Beckman and the Downers Grove Community Advocates violated the Campaign Financing Act by …

County officials said that the amount of traffic caught them by surprise and hampered the ability of the public to access election results.
Officials for DuPage County are saying that the influx of traffic to their election results website, which crashed the page between 8 and 10 p.m. on Tuesday night, has been a wake-up call to necessary improvements, the Chicago Tribune reports. According to the paper, the problem was caused when the available bandwidth was exceeded; page views peaked at 15,000 within a few minutes, 5,000 more than the peak in the 2012 elections. "If you asked me 72 hours ago if the site would peak out 50 percent higher than a presidential election, I would've laughed," Robert Saar, the election commission's executive director, told the paper. "Everybody here had their eyes opened. We're disappointed that it happened, but I'm extremely confident that going …

Incumbents Debbie Boyle, Terry Pavesich and Julia Beckman and newcomer Rick Pavinato prevailed over two late drop-out candidates Tuesday.
With all precincts reporting, three incumbents and one newcomer have been elected to the Community High School District 99 Board of Education, according to unofficial election results. Incumbents Debbie Boyle, Terry Pavesich and Julia Beckman and newcomer newcomer Rick Pavinato were the top vote-getters Tuesday, according to the DuPage County Election Commission. They prevailed over Henry Jakobsze and Martin Gorski, both of whom dropped out of the race. Because Jakobsze and Gorski suspended their campaigns after the official deadline to withdraw from the election, they both appeared on the ballot. They pulled in a sizable number of votes—4,222 for Gorski (13.9 percent) and 3,702 for Jakobsze (12.2 percent). Beckman was the top vote-getter …

Read Ferenc Vandor's candidate bio on Patch.
What is the primary reason you are running for this office? I have been a resident of Woodridge since 1983. I want to bring about a breath of fresh air to Woodridge. This is my second run for mayor. I ran in 1996. I received approximately 1,600 votes against Mayor Murphy's approximately 2,100. It clearly proved that residents were looking for a change. What will be your single most important priority if you get elected? To establish term limits for offices of mayor and trustees. Two terms (8 yrs) would be ideal. No one should be mayor again for 32 years. Also, to promote friendly and receptive environments for the residents to come forward and participate at all levels of community involvement. If your race is contested, what sets …

Mr Jakobsze is now complaining loudly that he was endorsed by the DG Community Advocates but yet he asked for that endorsement. Why is he complaining? He submitted the paperwork to run for office and got on the ballot and the paperwork with the DGCA to get endorsed. But yet he now complains. Given this irrational behavior I guess it is good he was not elected? more ›
