Suess defeats Prendiville in Wheaton mayoral race
Posted April 02, 2019 7:00 pm
In a race that pitted one experienced city councilman against another, Wheaton voters on Tuesday chose Phil Suess as their first new mayor in 12 years, unofficial results showed.
With all precincts reporting, Suess had 3,617 votes, while his challenger, John Prendiville, had 3,239.
Suess, 61, is a partner in an investment consulting firm and is in the middle of his fourth term as city councilman. He will succeed Mayor Michael Gresk, who did not seek re-election.
The loss boots 56-year-old Prendiville from the city council, with his third term as councilman expiring in May.
Phil Suess has been elected mayor of Wheaton.
