Mayoral Race Post-Election Debrief: Naperville, Lake Forest, Springfield & Joliet

Naperville

Collin Corbett and our DuPage County political expert Abby Oliver discuss how Scott Wehrli pulled off his win over Benny White, especially when Naperville continues to vote more progressive in county, state house, and federal races. It’s clear voters wanted a more fiscally conservative local leader.

 

Lake Forest

Lake Forest caucus candidate Randy Tack won big last night. Collin Corbett and Cor’s Lake County political expert Matthew Duray talk through how even though Prue Beidler ran an active campaign that made people on the ground nervous, Randy Tack will still be the next mayor as our polling showed.

 

Springfield

We saw more than one incumbent fall short last night and that includes Jim Langfelder in Springfield. Collin Corbett and Cor political expert Michael Butler highlight what went right for mayor-elect Misty Buscher—hint: early and vote-by-mail voting played a big part.

 

Joliet

We heard it when our team was on the ground talking to Joliet voters and we saw it in the polling that Terry D’Arcy was going to have a big victory, and that he did. Collin Corbett and Cor political expert John Giesecke break down how and why this mayoral race ended as it did.
