Appointed DeKalb County treasurer announces 2022 election candidacy

SYCAMORE – DeKalb County Treasurer Becky Springer announced she is seeking election to the office this November.

The announcement comes after Springer was appointed to the office in January 2021, following the retirement of former treasurer Christine Johnson.

“As the incumbent treasurer, serving DeKalb County has been a privilege and an honor,” Springer said in a Friday news release. “Given my degree and experience, the transition to treasurer was very smooth. The Treasurer’s Office is run with fiscal responsibility, transparency and a strong desire to serve those who live in DeKalb County.”

Springer was born and raised in DeKalb County. She is a graduate of Sycamore High School and received her bachelor’s degree in economics from Northern Illinois University. She worked in the banking industry for 20 years before becoming treasurer, most recently at the Illinois Community Credit Union.

Springer has served within the Sycamore Rotary Club, and she serves as a board member for the Sycamore Education Foundation. She lives in Sycamore with her husband and two children.

“With the support of the voters in the 2022 election, I will serve the citizens of DeKalb County to the best of my ability, continuing my record of efficiency, transparency, and fiscal responsibility,” she said in the release.
