[November 05, 2007]  Former Courier columnist Jan Schumacher has announced her intention to file for a seat on the Logan County Board, representing District 2.

"As a multimillion-dollar organization, Logan County needs to be run in a professional manner," Schumacher said. "Informed policymaking and fiscal responsibility are critical for the county to be governed effectively."

"As the county moves forward in the 21st century, long-range planning is essential to take advantage of our strategic location," she said. "The county board needs to ensure that recommendations in the new Regional Comprehensive Plan are carried out so we can create a positive future for our residents."

"With my background as a journalist, I'm familiar with issues facing the county, ranging from the challenging financial situation to animal control," she said. "And I'm used to getting to the bottom of tough situations."

Schumacher currently serves as vice-president of the Route 66 Heritage Foundation of Logan County and on the Marketing Committee of the Lincoln/Logan Chamber of Commerce. She's also currently a member of the Zion Lutheran Church Council and is a past president of Main Street Lincoln.

She earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from Northern Arizona University. She is currently enrolled in the Certified Public Manager Program of Illinois at the University of Illinois at Springfield.
