Democrat frontrunner Monica Gordon faces two little known opponents in the race for Cook County clerk. Gordon is a first-term commissioner on the county board, representing a district that stretches from the tip of the south suburbs to the far South Side.

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.
