Mark Clauss McLean County Board District 10

Second topic I'm interested in feedback on solar projects in McLean County. Been a push to expand residential over past few years that really just impacts owners, neighbors, and maybe HOAs. But what if we start converting more of our farmland into large solar sites? We're sitting in the middle of the most productive farm ground in the country (likely world as well) so it seems in our best interest to leverage that asset for its strength. We can still do solar, but can't we limit to on buildings and non-tillable ground? It's a fine line between individual owner rights to determine how to utilize their property vs. long-term interests of the community/country as there's only a limited amount of highly productive farm ground. Likely plenty of farmers willing to buy the ground to keep it used for agriculture. So what are your thoughts on this issue?

Haven't been posting much on here, but a couple relevant topics today! Republican party moving to a new, more visible HQ with ribbon cutting next Friday.

We are excited to announce that on May 2 we will be in our new offices at 202 Eldorada Suite B-3 in Bloomington. This office suite faces Veteran's Parkway and sits across from State Farm Corporate Offices. It is a great location with great visability.

A survey is being conducted to obtain public input about the future of Veteran's Parkway. The road and city have both evolved substantially since first created over 80 years ago. What changes, if any, would best meet the future needs of the community? Maybe the answer is nothing, leave it the way it is. Whatever you think is important to submit because if only those wanting changes respond the responses will then overwhelmingly support action and action often requires money. So make your voice heard by participating before the end of February. https://mcplan.org/

Next big election with significant local impacts is the upcoming April 1st election of the Bloomington mayor and city council. Two candidates I'm supporting that I believe are the clear favorites pursuing what is in the best interest of our community are Dan Brady for Bloomington mayor and Roger Bedeker for ward 9 of the Bloomington City Council. Check them out and put your support behind them - yard signs, donations, and your vote on or before April 1!!!

Been 3 months now since the election. This page was initially created for the election, but guess I will keep it up and try to post anything relevant to the board position. Been through a couple cycles of meetings with another full board meeting this Thursday. I'm serving on the Justice and Finance committees. Reach out if you have questions or comments. Not a big poster so don't be expecting to get flooded with things!

Now it’s time to take down all the signs!! Anyone with a yard sign you can recycle or let me know if you want me to pick it up. Have heard from a few of you so far. Also need to take the big ones down but the spring city election will lead to new signs starting to go up!

First mailer was delivered to many voters today. Tried to keep it short and simple. Big challenge in refining the list. I didn’t want to send multiples to each address, but difficult to always select the most appropriate primary name to keep so please don’t be insulted. I didn’t take the easy way out like my opponent and address to “resident” but realize with thousands of names it won’t be perfect.

Even though many of you will already be voting for me, I wanted to include even supporters in this initial mailing so you can see the progress of the campaign. For those that donated you will see one of the key ways how the money is being used to win this election.

Going forward I will be refining the list of recipients to save money and target those that haven’t voted and still need to be influenced on who their best option is to help provide a better future.

Reach out at any time if you have questions. I appreciate your support!!
