GOP Candidate Amy Elik defeated Democratic Incumbent Monica Bristow in the race for District 111 House seat.
Elik thanked voters for the support they rendered.
“When I launched my campaign, I said I’m running to represent the forgotten voices of people looking for more favourable policies toward the middle class,” wrote Elik on Facebook.
“To the endless number of volunteers, I cannot thank you enough for your commitment to the cause. I look forward to serving as an effective, conservative representative for the people of the 111th district as we work to fix the fiscal and ethics issues plaguing our great state,” added Elik.
She also thanked Bristow for her service to the people of Illinois and for a hard-fought race.
