With more than half of the precincts reporting, it looks like Seventh Ward Alderman Elizabeth Tisdahl will be the next mayor of Evanston. At about on Tuesday evening, Ald. Tisdahl had received 4,446 votes; her closest competitor, Stuart Opdycke, had received 1,318 votes. Barnaby Dinges, running third in the race, conceded shortly before , having received only 837 votes. Last in the race by was Jeanne Kamps Lindwall, with 565 votes.

 

Even without all the votes counted, other winners appear to be as follows: First Ward, Judy Fiske, defeating incumbent Cheryl Wollin; Fourth Ward (where Alderman Steve Bernstein is retiring), Donald Wilson appears to have won out over Howard Hartenstein and Elliot Dudnik; Fifth Ward, incumbent Alderman Delores Holmes will defeat Adrian Dortch; Sixth Ward (where Alderman Edmund Moran is retiring), Mark Tendam appears to be the winner over Mark Sloane and Christopher Hart; Seventh Ward (where Alderman Elizabeth Tisdahl is retiring and will become mayor), Jane Grover appears to be winning over John Zbesko and Kevin O’Connor; Ninth Ward (where Alderman Anjana Hansen is retiring), Coleen Burrus is the apparent winner over Michael Drennan and Mimi Peterson.

Township Assessor Sharon Eckersall appears to have lost to challenger Bonnie Wilson.

 

At School District 65, the results are too close to call, with incumbents Jerome Summers and Andrew Pigozzi and new challengers Tracy Quattrocki and Kim Weaver in the lead for the four seats.
