The Committee to Reelect Ken Toftoy provided the following news release:

Today Kendall County Coroner Ken Toftoy announced the support and endorsements of 7 Federal and State leaders.

Congressman Randy Hultgren and Congressman Joe Walsh, both elected in 2010 over incumbent Democrats, are on board enthusiastically.

Illinois House Minority Leader Tom Cross of Oswego and his colleagues Kay Hatcher of Yorkville, and Pam Roth, who represents southern Kendall County in the legislature, stand with Toftoy confidently.

On the Senate side Kendall County's two representatives, Chris Lauzen and Sue Rezin, back the re-election of Coroner Toftoy as well, in recognition of the good work he does for their shared constituents.

Toftoy has earned the respect and support of leaders throughout the region and state for his professional and effective leadership over the last 20 years, taking the office out of a funeral home and developing a safe, clean, and well regarded morgue and office, much of it via Toftoy's solicitation of donations from the community.

"I am thankful and grateful for the support of these respected officials, all of whom have fought the Chicago machine on behalf of our needs in Kendall County," Toftoy said.

"But the endorsement I value the most is from the families of Kendall County whom I serve, often at the most difficult time of their lives," Toftoy concluded.
