After 8,343 Kendall County residents cast their ballots, or about 29 percent of the total number of registered voters, Shane Stolarczyk and Chris Taylor came away as the top two county judge candidates and will face off in a runoff election May 24.
The two candidates polled closely. Stolarczyk took 40.20 percent, or 3,354 of the votes, and Taylor trailed closely behind by 1.58 percent, pulling in 38.62 percent, or 3,222 of the votes.
Kendall County Precinct 2 Commissioner Richard Elkins was knocked out of the running, bringing in 21.18 percent, or 1,767 of the votes. Because Elkins was required to resign from his commissioner seat to run for the county judge position, he will no longer serve as a commissioner after the November election results are in.
