The La Grange Citizens' Council tonight endorsed Mark Kuchler and Jeff Nowak for election to the village board of trustees in next April's election, when three open seats will be filled by voters.
Kuchler is a one-term incumbent who was elected to the village board in 2007 with the council's endorsement.
Nowak is a newcomer to elective politics, but is currently an appointed member of the village plan commission and previously served on the village community and economic development commission.
The two men were the only village board candidates to seek endorsement from the council despite the organization extending its application deadline three times.
Another one-term incumbent, Jim Palermo, said he will seek re-election but did not seek the endorsement of the council, citing a policy adopted by his employer that would restrict his involvement as a member of any political party or slate.
Nineteen of the council's 25 members participated in tonight's slating caucus.
