Daniel Biss appears to be the next mayor of Evanston. With nearly all the precincts counted, he has more than 73% of the vote, defeating Lori Keenan. Evanston incumbent Steve Hagerty did not run for reelection.
In Dolton, it looks like Tiffany Henyard appears to have won the primary against incumbent Mayor Riley Rogers. Community activist Andrew Holmes came in third. Robert Shaw also ran for the position.
Henyard said she s optimistic about the results and ready to get to work, if elected. She would become Dolton s first female African American mayor.
Not all communities have a consolidated primary, as it s held in jurisdictions where there s a number of filed candidates for the consolidated general election on April 6, and the primary is used to narrow the field.
