County Council Election
Summary
Two Lake County Council seats are up for grabs in Districts 1 and 2, and no incumbents are running, so newcomers will likely take over. That means fresh voices could soon shape county budgets, taxes, and local priorities—so if you live in those districts, this election is worth a look.
