The League of Women Voters of the Elgin Area invited candidates in contested races in the primary election to participate in a Meet the Candidates Night at 7:00 pm on February 29th, to be held at the Gail Borden Library.  Races included Kane County Recorder, and Kane County Board districts 16 and 22. The event was cancelled due to insufficient candidate response.  LWV policy prohibits events where only one candidate for office participates.

The LWV of Central Kane County conducted several candidate forums of interest to our area on February 20 and 22.  Links to the recordings of those forums and/or candidate statements can be found on the BATV YouTube channel, and as follows: Kane County Recorder (Rogers statement), Illinois State Representative District 49 (Garcia statement), Congressional District 11 (Republican candidates) (Democrat Rashid statement).
