Jack Russell has resigned his position on the Cicero Town Council because he will soon move outside Council District 2, where he currently resides.

A caucus has been called by County Republican Party Chairwoman Laura Campbell to fill the vacancy. The caucus of the GOP precinct committeemen in District 2 has been set for May 4 at 6:30 p.m. in Red Bridge Park community center.
Persons interested in running for the position may contact Mrs. Campbell at County Republican headquarters. Candidates must be residents of the district, have a Republican voting record in the last GOP primary, and make their candidacy known at least 72 hours prior to the caucus.
Cicero has a five-member council. Russell’s term runs through December 2023. By state law, the GOP is entitled to fill the vacancy since Russell was seated as a Republican.
