HUNTLEY – Village Trustee Pam Fender has joined the growing number of candidates vying for the supervisor position in Grafton Township.

Fender on Tuesday announced her candidacy for the supervisor seat, with the general election still seven months away. She now will compete against incumbent Linda Moore and Algonquin lawyer Martin Waitzman.

"As the Grafton Township supervisor, I will peaceably engage other government entities to work together in positive ways to address township issues for a higher level of living for our residents," Fender said in a candidacy letter. "My goal is to improve existing programs and provide new community service."
