Chicago Tribune Endorsement"50th District (Aurora area): Republican Kay Hatcher of Yorkville, a Kendall County Board member and president of the forest preserve, is bright and has extensive experience on regional issues. She will bring a lot of energy to this job. She is endorsed over Democrat Mary Schneider of Batavia and Green Party candidate Sandra Lezon of Plano for this open seat."
Daily Herald Endorsement" House District 50Voters will do well to send Republican Kay Hatcher to Springfield to replace retiring GOP Rep. Pat Lindner. Hatcher, of Yorkville, has a wealth of local-government experience, including service as a school board member, Kendall County Board member and president of the Kendall County Forest Preserve District. A marketing director and legislative liaison for a Crystal Lake senior services agency, she is smart, independent and intimately familiar with issues confronting state government. Democrat Mary Schneider, a successful advocate on stem cell research, is an energetic candidate who also is familiar with Illinois issues and demonstrates a compelling independent streak. Sandra Lezon is seeking the position on the Green Party ticket. But neither candidate can match the experience of Hatcher, whose campaign emanates strength and determination." 2008 Newspaper Endorsements from the 50th District Primary
Chicago Tribune Endorsement"50th District (Kane and Kendall Counties): Republican Rep. Pat Lindner is retiring and four Republicans want to succeed her. The most promising is Kay Hatcher of Yorkville, marketing director for Senior Services Associates and president of the Kendall County Forest Preserve District. She has been deeply involved in school and civic affairs and is an advocate for the aged and disabled. She understands that voters are outraged at the political bickering in Springfield. Her experience, she says, has taught her 'the value of finding compromise while sticking to core values.' She is endorsed."Chicago Sun-Times Endorsement"50th: This district covering Kane and Kendall Counties has four solid GOP candidates vying to replace retiring Rep. Pat Lindner (R-Sugar Grove). We pick Kendall County Forest Preserve District president and county board member Kay Hatcher of Yorkville. Her job as marketing director and legislative liaison for Senior Services Associates should provide insight on issues facing an aging population." Daily Herald Endorsement
House District 50"Longtime GOP state Rep. Pat Lindner has held the House District 50 seat for about 15 years, but her pending retirement has spurred four Republicans in Kane and Kendall counties to vie for the spot."The most experienced candidate and our choice is Kendall County Forest Preserve President and county board member Kay Hatcher of Yorkville." The Beacon News Endorsement"Our endorsement in this close contest goes to Kay Hatcher. Her 15 years as a Kendall County Board member makes her the only elected official in this race and gives her an edge when it comes to experience as a public servant. At the same time, as the marketing director and legislative liaison for Senior Services Associates, the Yorkville resident understands how everyday people, especially the most vulnerable, are affected by legislation." Kane County Chronicle Endorsement"We think Yorkville resident Hatcher is the best choice, and she wins our endorsement. "Hatcher is a Kendall County Board member and president of the Kendall County Forest Preserve. Hatcher has an extensive background in public service and volunteerism.
"We believe that she will work hard for the residents of District 50 if given the chance." |
