Democratic incumbent Tina Tyson-Dunne faces Republican William “Bill” Wehrle for DuPage County Forest Preserve District 2 commissioner on November 3, 2026. Both appear in the county’s official listing.
Background
Tyson-Dunne’s campaign biography says she has served as District 2 commissioner and board treasurer since 2020. She describes previous work as a state-legislative chief of staff, small-business ownership and financial consulting.
She is a certified master naturalist through University of Illinois Extension and volunteers in forest-preserve natural-resources programs, her campaign says.
Conservation and public access
Her current platform emphasizes habitat and waterway restoration, responsible budgeting and public access to financial information. She supports additional trail connections, including the planned East Branch DuPage River Trail, and continued environmental education.
Tyson-Dunne argues that solar energy should be considered in new construction and redevelopment. Her biography also highlights efforts to expand accessibility and improve part-time employees’ access to healthcare. These statements describe her campaign priorities and claimed record, rather than promises that each project has already been completed.
