Winter Receives Republican Endorsements for Lake County State's Attorney

Three Lake County Republican Township organizations have endorsed Republican candidate Bryan R. Winter for Lake County State’s Attorney.

The Libertyville Township Republican Organization, one of the largest Republican groups in the County announced its “unanimous” endorsement and support for Winter’s candidacy on Saturday. Wauconda Township Republican Club and the Cuba Republican Club also endorsed Winter.

The Libertyville endorsement session included township committeemen listening to presentations from each Republican candidate for the position of State’s Attorney.

Organizational bylaws require that a candidate must receive support from at least 60 percent of the total votes cast by committeemen to receive an endorsement. The “unanimous” endorsement from the organization in support of Winter was exceptional, since rarely does a candidate  receive 100 percent support in a contested primary.

Winter, is a former local prosecutor and litigator with more than 26 years of experience in legal matters relating to individuals, corporations and municipalities. Winter is the village attorney for Gurnee and Kildeer. He grew up in Waukegan, and currently resides with his wife, Diane, and son in Lake Barrington.
