It is time to be no longer a visitor at the County Administration Building but to have a seat at the table. With your help, (prayers) and money perhaps that can happen.
The first order of business is for me to understand your needs and expectations. Please feel free to write or call me: bpysson@gmail.com or 544-5115. I am visiting the rural subdivisions and District 1 portions of Poplar Grove, Belvidere and Capron to distribute my flyer. I hope to speak to many of you in the near future.

Most interesting is the county’s 1999 Fact Sheet’s fourth paragraph. “The statute allows the county to sunset (end) the tax when the bonds are paid”. The question is will this happen?
All Boone County Board seats will be contested this November.
With three Democratic candidates running for three separate districts, every seat on the Boone County Board is up for grabs. The Boone County Board consists of three districts with four board members representing each district. Read below to see how each race stacks up.
District 1: Democrat Bill Pysson announced that he will be challenging Republican incumbents Bob Walberg, Brad Fidder and Kenneth Grzybowski II and newcomer Dennis Ellingson.
District 2: After a hotly contested primary, voters selected former state Rep. Ron Wait, Cathy Ward, Paul Larson and Karl Johnson for the Republican ticket. Democrat Francis Egan will also be running for the seat.
District 3: Former Belvidere City Council alderman and Democrat Craig Schultz has decided to run for the Boone County Board. He will be challenging Republican incumbents Mike Schultz, Kenneth Freeman, Patrick Mattison and newcomer Marion Thornberry.
The Boone County coroner position is also being challenged. Republican Rebecca Wigget will face Democrat Kevin Wes Swezey in the election.
