Democrat Link running away in state senate race
Posted November 04, 2014 12:01 am
Democratic state Sen. Terry Link is cruising in his quest to retain his seat in today's election.
With 94 of 111 precincts counted in Lake and Cook counties, unofficial totals show Link with 18,919 votes to Republican Don Wilson's 13,724.
Link and Wilson ran in Senate District 30, which includes parts or all of Buffalo Grove, Gurnee, Lincolnshire, Mettawa, Mundelein, North Chicago, Park City, Vernon Hills, Waukegan and Wheeling.
Spurred by the now-settled Waukegan teachers strike during the campaign, Link floated the idea of prohibiting school administrators from being paid during an employee walkout. Wilson criticized Link's idea as a ploy to win votes from teachers union members a week before the election.
