Highland Park Election Results: Stone, Lidawer, Tapia Lead Race

HIGHLAND PARK, IL — Polls are closed in Highland Park following contested races for City Council and Park District of Highland Park Board of Commissioners.

Voters chose three councilmembers from among six candidates and two new park commissioners from among three hopefuls.

There will be two new faces on the Highland Park City Council next month after incumbent councilmembers Daniel Kaufman and Alyssa Knobel decided not to seek reelection.

According to early unofficial results from the Lake County Clerk's Office, Councilwoman Kim Stone, Annette Lidawer and Andres Tapia led the race for City Council.

Among the candidates for City Council was a sitting park commissioner. That left two newcomers and one incumbent vying for three available six-year terms on five-member Park District of Highland Park board.

Incumbent Brian Kaplan secured reelection as a park commissioner, while Jen Freeman was elected to the seat being vacated by City Council candidate Lori Flores Weisskopf, according to the unofficial results.

There were no contested school board races in North Shore School District 112 or Township High School District 113.
