It looks like Bradley Hoey will be DeKalb’s next city clerk. According to results posted by the County Clerk, Hoey drew a commanding lead over fellow write-in challengers Lynn Fazekas and Steve Kapitan. All ballots postmarked by April First are still eligible to be counted.

Hoey is a former journalist and Campus Communications Director at NIU. He also served several terms on the citizens community enhancement commission.

The city clerk’s office has seen high turnover over the past decade. Both Fazekas and Kapitan previously served in the position.
