Rutland Township’s leadership group has been lively in recent months, and the April 4 election of officers will reflect that.
Fifteen candidates are offering to serve in eight positions starting in May and in January, 2018. Three of the candidates are residents of Sun City. Rutland Township is located in Kane County, which also includes close to two-thirds of Sun City.
Here, for the information of township voters, is how the ballot will look on April 4:
For Supervisor: incumbent Margaret Sanders, and challenger Elden Brauer. Both are residents of Sun City. The Supervisor also serves as a trustee and chairperson of the board.
For Assessor: incumbent Janet Siers and challenger Gary Fritz.
