Local Election Results: Libertyville Village Board

Two incumbents - Donna Johnson and Scott Adams - were in the race for three seats at the Libertyville Village Board Tuesday. That meant that the third seat could be a candidate who wins in a write-in campaign.

“If no candidate wins through a write-in vote, “I can appoint,” Mayor Terry Weppler told the Chicago Tribune.

Trustee Drew Collum opted not to file for re-election, which opened his seat. Six trustees serve four-year terms in Libertyville.

Preliminary results Tuesday night, with 100 percent of precincts reporting showed that Johnson had 1,158 votes and Adams 1,115.

Four people ran as write-in candidates on Tuesday:

• Peter Garrity
• Angela Trillhaase
• Thomas Beyer
• Bethany Williams

“Lake County Clerk Carla Wyckoff said results of write-in campaigns will not be announced until at least 3 p.m. on Wednesday, April 8,” The Tribune reported. “She said Lake County has a large number of write-in contests this year and she decided to play it safe by doing a more accurate count.”
