It turns out that the endorsement of the Mayor of Riverside was not decisive in the race for the Rogers vacancy. Shawnte Raines-Welch, the wife of the Speaker of the Illinois House, did not have that endorsement, but she apparently had a lot of others: She has about an 1,800 vote margin over Chloe Georgianna Pedersen, her nearest challenger in this four-person race.
With such a small margin, what may be decisive is VBM returns. I'm not climbing out on any limbs. But 98% of the available votes have been counted.
In the race for the Gavin vacancy, Nick Kantas has a better than 2,220-vote margin over his challenger. Still not climbing out on limbs.
But those are the numbers for now.
