Election results, June 2022 primary

Image

Some of the local leaders in Tuesday's primary election were John Cabello and Lori Gummow, who led decisively over their opponents. One of the tightest races was Winnebago County Board District 3, where John Guevara seems to have edged out Jay Durstock by 9 votes (647 to 638). Steve Schultz and Paul Arena also won their races.

Rockton-Roscoe News spent Tuesday at the polls for Roscoe precincts 6 and 9, at Cross and Crown Lutheran Church. In vote totals from those precincts, opinions were clear in many races. In the District 90 race, these Roscoe voters strongly preferred John Cabello over Mark Szula. Other winners as far as northeast Roscoe was concerned: Darren Bailey (for governor) and Thomas DeVore (for attorney general). Kathy Salvi was a favorite too, but no candidate in the Republican Senate primary won a majority.

Official results had not been released by 6:00 a.m. Wednesday, neither by the Illinois State Board of Elections nor the Winnebago County Clerk, but the county gave unofficial results later in the day:
