Mike Loftus has lived in Lisle and DuPage County since 1974, when he graduated from the University of Illinois. He met his wife, Judy, in Lisle, married her in 1976 and raised two daughters, Kate and Sarah in our community. However, more than just living here, he has always been involved. He coached soccer for more that 5 years, served as youth leader in his church for 10 years, served on the Lisle School Board for 11 years, (8 as president) and has been on the DuPage County Zoning Board of Appeals for the last 9 years. DuPage County needs a person like Mike Loftus on its board. He is a doer, a listener, and most importantly and active listener. He cares, he serves and he reacts to his constituents needs. He is a good conservative with a…

When District 2 candidates met at last week’s Chamber-sponsored event, a couple Patch commenters asked why a Chamber of Commerce was hosting an event for Republican candidates only. Uncontested Democratic candidate Liz Chaplin confirmed on Patch she was not invited to last week's Chamber event. Tom Althoff, president/CEO of the Lisle Chamber of Commerce, acknowledged that both events, which have been …
