After almost taking out her opponent, Leon Brimhall, in the March primary election, Andra Wisian successfully has taken the Republican bid for the Precinct 2 Kendall County Commissioners Court seat. Wisian will officially take on her new role January 1.
Wisian took a hefty share of Tuesday’s runoff vote – earning 70.63 percent of the 2,012 votes cast for the Precinct 2 seat – which mirrors her March Republican primary numbers where she received just a half a percent shy of the 50 percent needed to win. In good sportsmanship, Wisian thanked not only those who voted for her but her opponents for their civic engagement.
“I am grateful to the Precinct 2 residents who voted for me as well as others who offered their prayers, friendship and logistical support,” Wisian said of those who elected her. “We received 70 percent of the vote. Now, we need 100 percent citizen engagement to tackle the issues facing our county.
