Because of the volunteer efforts of 76 participants, the Lauzen for Kane County (treasurer) campaign has submitted 1,348 petition signatures to permit Chris Lauzen to be placed on the 2022 ballot for County-wide officer. The required minimum was 593.
The voters who signed Lauzen’s petitions live in every township and municipality in Kane County.
“I am delighted and deeply grateful for the good work and solid support that this collective effort demonstrates”, said former State senator and County Board chairman Chris Lauzen. “This is the first step of a long, exciting, journey to serve the people of Kane County in elected office once again, this time as treasurer.”
Lauzen earned his B.A. in ccounting and English from Duke University, MBA (masters of business administration) from Harvard Business School, and CPA (certified public accountant) certificate through testing sponsored by the University of Illinois.
After starting and building a successful accounting practice with his wife, Sarah, serving more than 200 small business owners in the Fox Valley, Lauzen was elected and served in the Illinois State Senate for 20 years and was elected and served for eight years as the Kane County Board chairman and chief administrator. During his two terms as elected chairman, Lauzen led the successful effort to freeze the Kane County and Forest Preserve property tax levy, pay down the county debt by 70%, fully fund the public pension obligation … all while maintaining 100% transparency of finances and appointments.
