Democrat Monica Gordon is projected to win with 65% of the vote for Cook County Clerk, according to The New York Times with data from the Associated Press. Gordon faced Republican candidate Michelle Pennington and Libertarian candidate Christopher Laurent in the special race to fill the remainder of the late Clerk Karen Yarbrough’s term.

The Cook County clerk’s race is an unexpected special election for only a two-year term, following the death earlier this year of Clerk Karen Yarbrough.
