St. Charles County Executive Steve Ehlmann was originally going to retire after roughly 20 years on the job.
But the Republican countywide official chose to seek a sixth term in office, partly because he believes he’s the only candidate who can prevent former Sen. Bill Eigel from taking his job.
“Given the people who were running, especially former Sen. Eigel, it was necessary for me to defend everything that my team has been able to accomplish over the last 20 years,” Ehlmann said on “Politically Speaking.”
