About Christine.
Christine Hamm is a nonprofit executive, community organizer, and advocate for inclusion and community empowerment who has called Huntley and McHenry County home for much of the past seventeen years. As executive director of a North American membership organization for relationship therapists, Christine has demonstrated visionary leadership—overseeing finance, marketing, member relations, and strategic growth, always anchored in transparency and organizational excellence.
Christine’s hands-on approach extends to civic life, serving as Grafton 29 precinct committeeperson and helping to organize a successful grassroots campaign for the District 158 school board. She believes that strong, connected, and welcoming communities are built when every voice is heard. With a record of bringing people together around shared goals, she is committed to open government and responsive leadership.
Above all, Christine is dedicated to being a voice for the people of District 9. Guided by empathy, fairness, and principled democratic values, she works every day to ensure local government is shaped by the needs, concerns, and hopes of the community it serves.
“I believe representation begins with listening. My commitment is to be a true voice for our community, ensuring that decisions are shaped not by personal agendas but by the needs and priorities of the people I represent. In a time when it can be easy to focus on what divides us, I am deeply committed to fostering connection by focusing on what we share in common…our hopes, our goals, and our desire for a strong, caring community.
I believe leadership must be rooted in respect, fairness, and a willingness to engage with neighbors on the issues that matter most to them. Rather than setting a platform before hearing from the district, I will focus first on listening…learning directly from residents, families, and community leaders.
This campaign is not about me, it’s about us. It’s about building a county government that is transparent, accountable, and genuinely reflective of the people it serves. Together, we can create a stronger community where every voice is valued, and where listening guides action.”
