Candidate Profiles - Will County Board District 12

On Tuesday March 20th, four Republican candidates will be on the 13th Precinct Republican ballots for Will County Board. Of the four candidates running, three live in New Lenox and one lives in Mokena. Voters are to select two of the four for placement on the general election ballot on November 6th. The four candidates in order of their ballot positions are:

1. Margo McDermed - Mokena
2. Tom Weigel - New Lenox
3. Raymond Tuminello - New Lenox
4. Chris Kosel - New Lenox

The first candidate, Margo McDermed, is a 33 year resident of Mokena. She lives in Mokena with her husband Ed Ronkowski. Margo is a life long Republican and currently serves as Clerk of Frankfort Township.

Margo is a personal friend of mine and a member of my church, Grace Episcopal Church in New Lenox. I know her to have a strong character and to be a staunch conservative (her cat incidentally is name Reagan).  She is a fine pistol shot and believes strongly in our 2nd Amendment rights.

Having served with her on our church board, I know her to be very responsible with other peoples' money. She knows how to prioritize budgets for the good of the community she serves. She is level headed, even keeled, highly intelligent and very experienced in matters of governance.

In addition to all of these other positive qualities, 13th Precinct voters should know that Margo is the only candidate on the ballot for Will County Board representing Mokena. She is the only voice out of 60 candidates running for Will County Board that would represent the interests of Mokena.

Margo has also been overwhelmingly endorsed by the Frankfort Township Republican Organization. None of the other candidates running for Will County Board District 12  received an endorsement from the Frankfort Township Republican Organization.

While the other candidates are all fine citizens and would make excellent County Board members, they all live in and support New Lenox. In the interests of having a competent and strong voice on the Will County Board for Mokena, I urge all 13th Precinct Republican voters to make Margo your top choice when you vote March 20th.

I also plan to hold a neighborhood coffee for Margo in the coming weeks to introduce her to our fellow 13th Precinct Republicans. Look for notices on this web site.
