BLOOMINGTON – A Democrat on the McLean County Board said he’s not running for re-election next year.
Carlo Robustelli, who has represented District 8 since 2013, made the announcement Wednesday on his Facebook page.
“With a deep bench of energized, highly qualified progressives, I feel now is the best time to announce my intentions, and I look forward to supporting a fellow resident of District 8 for election to the County Board,” said Robustelli.
Robustelli said the County Board has made government more transparent and more open to the public. He added the board has improved and expanded access to community-based services.
“I love our community and will continue to serve the remainder of my term with the same passion and enthusiasm I have carried with me over the past six years. After that, I am confident that I will keep busy in my role as a private citizen,” Robustelli added.
