According to state law, candidates are considered to have filed simultaneously if they were standing in line to file nominating paperwork at the Kane County Clerk’s Office prior to 8:30 a.m. on the first day of the filing period, or if they filed paperwork in the last hour of the last day of the filing period.

This is the ballot order resulting from the lottery for Democratic Party candidates:

  • County Board District 1: Myrna Molina, Blanca E. Rodriguez.
  • County Board District 3: Anita Marie Lewis, Donald Ishmael.
  • County Board District 7: Brian Gravenhorst, Monica Silva.
  • County Board District 17: Janice Bennett, Deborah Allan.
  • County Board District 19: Thomas Gibbons, John (Jack) Shales. Mohammad “Mo” Iqbal is also on the ballot but was not involved in the lottery.
