Civic-minded individuals, mostly incumbents, filed their intentions March 7 to seek office in Whiteside counties. Monday, March 7, was the first day established party candidates could file their petitions. The deadline for turning in petitions is 5 p.m. March 14. In Whiteside County, Sheriff John Booker will square off against a familiar face, according to the first batch of petitions filed for the June 24 primary race. Tampico Chief of Police Mike Lewis, a Republican, is seeking to oust Booker, a Democrat, who was a lieutenant with the sheriff’s department when he was first elected in November 2018. Lewis, who took the job as Tampico’s top cop in January 2021, was a Whiteside County deputy for 17 years, serving with Booker. In March 2018, Lewis lost the GOP nomination for sheriff to fellow deputy Kris Schmidt by fewer than 350 votes – 2,309 to 1,769. Schmidt, who retired from the sheriff’s department last week, lost to Booker.
The Whiteside County Board is composed of three districts, with seven board members each. Of the 27 incumbents, 15 filed March 7 to seek reelection, while four filed seeking their own seats. Whiteside County offices up for election, and the candidates who filed as of 4:30 p.m. March 7: County clerk: Republican Dana Nelson, incumbent Sheriff: Democrat John F. Booker, incumbent; Republican Michael W. Lewis County Board District 1: Democratic incumbents Thomas L. Ausman, James C. Duffy, Fidencio Hooper-Campos and Owen Harrell; Republican incumbent Kurt E. Glazier; Republicans Terry Woodard and Michael J. Clark District 2: Democratic incumbents Karen Nelson, Katherine A. Nelson, Shawn Dowd, Glenn C. Truesdell and Paul J. Cunniff; Republican incumbents Linda Pennell and Douglas Wetzell; Republican Brhenan Linke District 3: Republican incumbents Glenn A. Frank, Mark Hamilton, Larry Russell; Republican Douglas E.
