In the 76thHouse District race between two challengers, Democrat Amy “Murri” Briel – according to our numbers – holds a five hundred vote lead over Republican Liz Bishop. Bishop won La Salle and Bureau Counties, but those numbers were overshadowed by the support Briel received in DeKalb County. Not all the ballots have been counted, so, Briel wasn’t ready to declare a victory, but is cautiously optimistic:
Briel was Chief of Staff for retiring Representative Lance Yednock and is an Ottawa native.. We will continue to follow this story until a winner is determined.
