Incumbent Benny White, Park Board President Mary Gibson appear to take early lead in Naperville council race

As of 8:50 p.m. Tuesday, Benny White, Mary Gibson, Ian Holzhauer and Ashfaq Syed were leading in the eight-way race for the four, four-year Naperville City Council seats up for election.

Because Naperville is in both Will and DuPage counties, the unofficial results listed here show the combined vote count:

Benny White: 8,522

Mary Gibson: 7,786

Ian Holzhauer: 7,629

Ashfaq Syed: 7,078

Jennifer Bruzan Taylor: 5,752

Meghna Bansal: 5,374

Derek McDaniel: 4,964

Nag Jaiswal: 3,061

Election results will remain unofficial until mail-in ballots postmarked for Election Day or earlier are counted, provisional ballots are checked and votes are canvassed.

Bruzan Taylor and Holzauer are both seeking a second term on council. White is seeking a third. The fourth seat up for election is currently held by Paul Leong, who is stepping down from council.

Among the challengers, Bansal and McDaniel currently serve on Naperville’s Planning and Zoning Commission, Gibson is president of the Naperville Park Board, Jaiswal formerly served on the city’s Human Rights and Fair Housing Commission and Syed is president of the Naperville Public Library Board.

Unofficial election results will be updated through the night Tuesday as votes are tabulated.
