See Who Leads Republican Primary For Oswego Trustee

OSWEGO, IL — Oswego residents took to the polls Tuesday to narrow down the Republican candidates running for trustee in April's consolidated election.

The primary election was held to narrow down the four Republican trustee candidates running for the three four-year positions to match the number of Democrat candidates who filed.

Voters chose between the two incumbents Kit Kuhrt and Jennifer Jones Sinnott as well as Jim Marter II and Terry Olson. The top three candidates advance to the consolidated election on April 1, with Kuhrt receiving the fewest number of votes.

Polls were open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday. Here is a look at unofficial vote tallies:

• Kit Kuhrt: 272 votes (15.7 percent)
• Jennifer Jones Sinnott: 493 votes (28.5 percent)
• Jim Marter II: 459 votes (26.6 percent)
• Terry Olson: 504 votes (29.2 percent)

Two Republican candidates — Lori West and Tom Guist — were also initially running in February for a two-year trustee position, but the race was removed from the primary after Guist dropped out on Dec. 17, Patch reported.
