One of the nine new members of the McHenry County Board isn’t quite as new as the others.

Former Cary Village Trustee Yvonne Barnes was elected in 2006 to the McHenry County Board, where she quickly established herself and landed a committee chairmanship two years later. But she narrowly lost her re-election bid in 2010 in the Republican primary.

Voters in November re-elected her to another four-year term, and Barnes, a technical communications specialist and mother of seven children, is picking up where she left off.
