Ready for Teddy

Ready for TeddyReady for TeddyReady for Teddy

"Public service is my passion. I'm NOT a career politician."

Career History

  • I have 30 years of experience working as a public servant.
  • At the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, I was the statewide Director of Community Outreach. I organized programs to introduce new outdoor opportunities to residents and helped improve the health of our natural areas.
  • At the Illinois Liquor Control Commission, I developed programs to help our youth make better choices. I also worked with the hospitality industry to ensure proper and safe alcohol service.

About Ted Penesis

Whether it is volunteering for river clean ups or removing invasive species, serving on the State’s Coalition to End Hunger or raising money for environmental causes, public service is Ted’s passion. This is why he dedicated his career to public service after working in the private sector. Offering an uncommon portfolio of relationships and a long history of collaborating with all levels of government, Ted is uniquely positioned to address local and countywide issues.


Ted is a driven and accomplished professional with a proven track record of working across multiple industries and creating successful public-private partnerships. Whether it is trying to help youth make better choices regarding drugs and alcohol to protecting our state’s natural amenities, Ted has a public servant’s heart and has worked hard to improve the lives of others. 


As a South Elgin resident for over 20 years, Ted had many choices on where to live, but Kane County immediately felt like home. Ted would be truly honored to serve as a Kane County Board Member and believes this unique opportunity will allow him to give back for all he has received from the community.

He will ensure county government is run honestly, efficiently, and effectively to meet your needs.


With extensive experience and strong relationships, Ted excels at creating a rational approach to achieving goals. His enthusiasm, work ethic and knowledge will prove a tremendous asset to our community and the Kane County Board.
