| Description | Sugar Grove dairy magnate Jim Oberweis lost another election Wednesday night.
The second-place finisher in last month’s Republican governor primary won’t be serving as Kane County Republican chairman or joining the Republican State Central Committee. Oberweis lost a bid for the unpaid party leadership posts to incumbent Kane party chairman Dennis Wiggins Wednesday night.
“I’m going to be around doing whatever I can to help rebuild the party in Kane County, to help rebuild the party throughout the state of Illinois,” Oberweis told nearly 130 assembled Republican precinct committeemen, before conceding defeat less than halfway through the roll call.
The loss marks the sixth major Republican post Oberweis has sought and failed to win since 2002. The list includes two runs for U.S. Senate, an attempt to be a replacement Senate candidate, state GOP chairman and governor. Oberweis was, however, elected unopposed last month as a Sugar Grove Township Republican precinct committeeman. |
