City of Champaign Township supervisor not running again

CHAMPAIGN – City of Champaign Township Supervisor Linda Abernathy, facing a serious health challenge, says she won't seek election to a second term this spring.

Abernathy, a 61-year-old Democrat who had a bout with breast cancer in 2006, said she's undergoing tests to determine if the cancer has spread, and said she needs to concentrate on improving her health. She said she will endorse her assistant and the township's accountant, D'Anne Winston, for the Democratic nomination for township supervisor.
