Support Term Limits for McHenry, IL City Council Members
As a resident of McHenry, I believe in fresh leadership, greater accountability, and a City Council that truly reflects the people it serves.
That’s why I’m starting and signing this petition to express my support for implementing term limits for City Council members in the City of McHenry. Currently an Alderman/ Alderwoman position is for 4 years with no term limits. I propose that no Alderman/Alderwoman should serve more than 3 consecutive terms for a total of 12 years in office.
Term limits will:
- Ensure fresh ideas and perspectives in city leadership
- Prevent politicians from occupying seats for decades
- Encourage more community members to step up and get involved
- Strengthen public trust in our local government
By limiting the number of consecutive terms a City Council member can serve, we ensure that new voices are always part of the conversation about McHenry’s future and that succession planning is becomes a best practice.
Join me in urging our City Council to adopt term limits and make McHenry’s government more transparent, responsive, and forward-thinking.

I have been hearing from so many of you who are tired of seeing the same faces in our city government for decades. It is clear that our neighbors want a future where leadership cycles properly to allow for new ideas to take root.

Seeing this kind of momentum confirms that I am not the only person in McHenry who feels it is time for a change. It is heartening to know that so many neighbors agree that fresh ideas are essential for our city government to thrive.

Finally someone said it. Getting stale in there and we need some new faces.
About time. Too many people staying way longer than they should.
Thank you for keeping McHenry current.
Agreed, Fresh ideas should always be welcome
Great idea. I think people can get complacent in their positions
term limits are long overdue
Totally agree this needs to be done!
