Donnelly Downs Towne for state’s attorney

Posted by wlpo on November 9, 2016

There will be a new top prosecutor in La Salle County.

Republican challenger Karen Donnelly ousted Democratic incumbent Brian Towne by getting 54 percent of the vote.  Donnelly got 25,899 votes to Towne’s 21,815.

The campaign turned dirty at times but it was the first time in the last three elections that Towne had to face a challenger for his job.
