Will County Board member Cory Singer had hoped to oust Larry Walsh, who's held the job for eight years, but lost by nearly 7 percent.
Will County Executive Larry Walsh was victorious in his bid for a third term, defeating county board member Cory Singer by more than 17,200 votes. Although there were points in the evening in which it appeared the end result might be tighter, Democrat Walsh ultimately secured 53.6 percent of the vote to Republican Singer's 46.3, with all 303 precincts counted by 10:10 p.m. And it was a double victory for the Walsh family. Walsh's son, Larry Walsh Jr., handily won his first term representing District 86 in the Illinois House. Walsh Jr. had been appointed to the seat earlier in the year, and faced Republican Ryan Martin Alm in his bid to keep the job.

While many of northern Illinois' congressional races left little in the way of doubt, a few provided down-to-the-wire drama and competitiveness. Judy Biggert and Bill Foster were in a dead heat as Election Day approached, with Foster emerging victorious, according to unofficial totals. And Joe Walsh and Tammy Duckworth engaged in a bitter mudfest, with Walsh being tossed out by voters. Jesse Jackson Jr. didn't campaign at all, citing health issues, yet won-reelection, and Adam Kinzinger, Dan Lipinski, Danny Davis and Peter Roskam didn't feel they had to. Coverage of the various congressional races can be viewed throughout the Patch network.

The Plainfield village trustee handily beat three GOP challengers for a chance to face Democrat Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant in the general election.
With more than 3,200 votes separating him from his next closest competitor, Plainfield Village Trustee Garrett Peck was the hands-down winner in his bid to be the Republican nominee for the newly created 49th Senate seat. Peck's 7,069 votes was just a few hundred shy of double the amount tallied by the next highest vote-getter, Shorewood Village Trustee Gary Fitzgerald, with 3,793. Will County Board member Brian Smith, of Plainfield, received 1,981 votes and Oswego Village Trustee Tony Giles, 1,333. Peck, 32, was the first of four candidates to announce his candidacy in June, and has long signaled a desire to seek a higher office beyond the Plainfield Village Board, to which he was elected in 2009. He now faces Democratic challenger …
