No Concession in One of the Closest Races in Illinois

senatortomcullerton.com

A west suburban race for the Illinois state senate is so close - there’s still been no concession. The race between Democratic incumbent State Senator Tom Cullerton and Republican Seth Lewis was one of the most expensive campaigns for Springfield. 

The district just south of O’Hare Airport tends to run Republican - but the Associated Press called the race for the Democrat Cullerton - who has 788 more votes than Lewis. 

In a statement - Lewis’s campaign manager says they want to make sure all ballots are counted.
