Third-party candidates have made two more local General Assembly races – one House and one Senate – contested in November.

Dee Beaubien, widow of 52nd House District Rep. Mark Beaubien, filed Monday to run as an independent candidate against Republican nominee David McSweeney. Doug Marks, a Carpentersville village trustee, filed as a Libertarian to run in the 33rd Senate District against GOP nominee and Kane County Board Chairwoman Karen McConnaughay.

Monday was the last day for independents and newly qualifying parties to submit petitions. Before Monday, only one of the eight redrawn General Assembly districts that include McHenry County had a contested race.
