McPhillips has tossed her name into the running against Larry Walsh Sr. the long time county Executive of Will County. Laurie was elected in 2004 as the Will County Recorder of Deeds and she held that position until 2008. She went on to loose both 2008 and 2012. Walsh first obtained the county executive seat in 2004 and has held it ever since. This may be a turn key year for Republican McPhillips who has the upper hand in this race.Former Recorder of Deeds Laurie
Larry Walsh who stood against his base when the county employees union went on strike in December of 2013. Local 1028 had been a long time supporter of Walsh until he stood against the Unions. We anticipate a huge uproar this election season, which could lead to the end of a long running nepotism in Will County politics. But only time will tell. Last year a long running political family lost power of the Will County Sheriff's office,and we can only imagine what could be next for the county's political circle? Could this be a reign of newer faces? Only time will tell!
