Iroquois County board appoints and swears in Republican nominee for District 4
Summary
The board appointed the Republican Central Committee’s nominee to fill the District 4 vacancy and administered the oath of office. The appointment followed citation to state statute on filling unexpired county board terms.
The Iroquois County Board approved an appointment to fill the unexpired District 4 seat and administered the oath of office to the appointee after the board’s roll‑call vote.
Board materials cited 10 ILCS 5/25‑11 as the authority for filling an unexpired county elective office by appointment of a person from the same political party as the departing officeholder. The Republican Central Committee recommended Kevin Goldman to fill the vacancy; the board voted to accept the recommendation and the new member was sworn in and seated.
The board recorded the vote by roll call and congratulated the appointee. The appointment covers the remainder of the term through the Sunday before December 2026; the party will also name candidates for following ballot deadlines as required by election rules.
