Democrats have a candidate for County Clerk: Bill McNeese.
His statement:
I was born and raised in Texas on a working farm. After the 2008 housing crisis hit and our local economy nearly collapsed, I joined the U.S. Navy, where I served proudly but was honorably discharged after six years as a disabled veteran.
Since then, I’ve lived in several parts of our beautiful country and I’ve seen firsthand both the challenges and the potential of local communities. My family and I have made our home here in Illinois for the past five years, and we love it here.
I’m a father of three young girls, a business owner, and serve on the board of a nonprofit that provides counseling services to veterans. Professionally, I’m a licensed insurance broker.
I hold a BBA in Economics from Kent State University and a Master of Business Administration.
Outside of work, I’m interested in economics, geography, flags, and strategy games. I like understanding how things connect and how people work together toward shared goals. Above all, I believe in community and that politics, religion, or personal differences should never divide us.
Starting at 11:00 am on Saturday 10/11/25 you can come to Cantina 52, at 52 Brink Street in downtown Crystal Lake, to meet Bill and be among the first to sign his nominating petition. Also on site will be Karen Battaglia for State Senate in the 32nd, Brian Meyers for State Rep in the 63rd and Sarah Mertens for State Senate in the 35th.
