Clean Sweep For Good Government Candidates

EVERGREEN PARK, IL — It was a clean sweep for the long time Good Government Party in Evergreen Park's village board elections in Tuesday's suburban elections, according to unofficial election results.

The popular village clerk, Cathy Aparo, ran unopposed, but her three incumbent slate mates — Carol Kyle, Norm Anderson and Mark Phelan — faced two independent challengers, Cesar Salazar and Darryl Smith.

Here is how the races played out in the village trustee races:

Norm Anderson (Good Government Party) - 1,986
Carol Kyle (Good Government Party) - 2.039
Mark Phelan (Good Government Party) - 2,000

Cesar Salazar (independent) - 596

Darryl Smith (independent) - 353

All results are unofficial until certified by the Cook County Clerk

Included in the unofficial election day results are early votes and votes that were cast in precincts on election day. Mail-in votes received during the early voting period are also figured into Tuesday’s totals. The Cook County Clerk has two weeks to count the mail-in ballots trickling in after election day, as long as they are postmarked by April 6, 2021.

Early voting in the April 6 consolidated election was higher than the past two consolidated elections in 2019 and 2017. Requests for mail-in ballots were also up.
