GENEVA TOWNSHIP – Geneva Township Highway Commissioner incumbent Mark Wissing is facing challenger Michael Abts in a race for his second term in the April 9 consolidated election.

Wissing is seeking re-election to continue the work he already started in the past four years. For Abts, serving as highway commissioner is a way to give back to the community by doing things he thought could be done better.

“I was on the park board 18 years, from president all the way down,” Abts said. “I served on Fox Valley Special Recreation for 10 years, Community Chest for a couple of years. … I want to give back to the community.”
