ST. CHARLES
Ex-mayor gets job with congressman
Former St. Charles Mayor Sue Klinkhamer is returning to the Tri-Cities as district director for U.S. Rep. Bill Foster (D-Ill.) in the 14th Congressional District.
Since losing her bid for re-election in 2005, Klinkhamer has worked as a lobbyist in Washington for the City of Chicago.
Klinkhamer served two terms as mayor of St. Charles. Since going to work for Chicago, she has split her time between St. Charles and Washington. She said she is eager to return home.
“I think I certainly know the 14th District well enough. Hopefully, I will be an asset to the congressman,” Klinkhamer said Wednesday.
Foster, a former Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory scientist and businessman, defeated dairy magnate and investment manager Jim Oberweis in a March 8 special election to replace House Speaker Dennis Hastert.
Kane County records show that Klinkhamer had a long history of voting for Republicans, yet now finds herself working for a Democrat.
“I’m very big on bipartisanship,” she said.
