I encourage readers to vote for Karl Kovarik for circuit court clerk. Karl is a humble person who wouldn’t tell readers himself what a devoted public servant he’s been for the past 25 years.

Karl has been a Whiteside County Fair Board member for 16 years, served as publicity director, and is now treasurer. Karl’s record keeping has been outstanding, accurate and organized. 

Karl is an active member of St. Mary’s Church in Tampico, serves as trustee for the Tampico Fire Protection District, and has been a Morrison Rotary Club member for 15 years, now serving as treasurer. He’s active in Erie/Prophetstown sports boosters, is a proud father of two school-aged children, and has had a successful marriage to his wife of more than 20 years.
