CHAMPAIGN COUNTY DEMOCRATS ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR APPOINTMENT TO COMPLETE TERM FOR COUNTY BOARD DISTRICT 10

The Champaign County Democratic Central Committee is accepting applications to complete the 4-year term of Chris Stohr, Champaign County Board District 10. Applications will be vetted by the precinct committee people of District 10 and the applicant chosen will be recommended to Champaign County Board Chair, Jen Locke, for appointment to the vacant seat with the advice and consent of the County Board. The vacancy is occurring with less than half the term remaining so the seat will be on the November 2026 ballot for a regular election.

County Board District 10 is in the east central portion of Urbana. It is generally bound by Airport Road to the north, County Road 2000 E to the east, Homer Lake Road and Windsor Road to the south, and Cedar Street, Vine Street, and Anderson Court to the west. Interested applicants can check their residency eligibility here.

“Dr. Stohr has been an invaluable member of the Champaign County Board. There are many things I could list that he has done but there is one that has helped every person in this County and that is Dr. Stohr’s passion and commitment to protecting the Mahomet Aquifer, our sole source of drinking water. He led the effort to map the Aquifer, giving us a much better understanding of where we need to protect, and he leaves the County Board continuing to protect the Aquifer by leading the Carbon Sequestration Task Force,” stated Champaign County Democratic Central Committee Chair Mike Ingram. “Now it’s time for us to find the right person to fill this seat so we encourage any Democrat who has a commitment to their community and lives in District 10  to consider applying.” 

Any Democrat interested in being appointed to the County Board District 10 seat should complete this application, https://forms.gle/6EFcjS1JX6FrYA49A before the submission deadline on Sunday, July 6th, 2025 at 5:00 pm.
