Democratic incumbents for Will County sheriff and treasurer, who were trailing by only a few hundred votes out of more than 220,000 cast election night, overcame their deficits after the latest round of mail-in ballots were tabulated.
Will County Treasurer Tim Brophy shows some of the silver coins minted to mark the county’s 150th anniversary in 1986. They were put up for sale again in 2021 after renovations at the county building led to a smaller vault.
Pillai said he felt he raised issues in the treasurer’s race. He said the Democrats did better winning mail-in ballots, but Republicans can improve on that in future elections. The “razor-thin margins” the Democrats won by sends a clear message they can be challenged in Will County, Pillai said. The clerk’s office will complete tabulation of vote-by-mail ballots this coming Tuesday, counting those postmarked by Election Day and received after polls closed or ballots that were not postmarked but had a certification date before Election Day. Tuesday is also the last day for the clerk’s office to count provisional ballots.
Reilly said there would not be enough provisional ballots to be counted next week to change the outcome of the race. He said he was pleased at Republicans had a strong showing and gained seats on the county board, saying it puts Republicans in a better position in two years.In the race for clerk, incumbent Lauren Staley Ferry maintains a 12,971 vote lead over her challenger, Gretchen Fritz, a county board member from Plainfield.
