Lincoln Way 210 Election: 3 Incumbents Re-Elected; Kosel and Molinare Ousted
Three incumbents were re-elected to the Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210 board, but two were unseated.

NEW LENOX, IL - All Will County precincts have been counted in the 2017 election as five candidates for the Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210 are expected to earn seats on the board. With results still unofficial as of 9 p.m. Tuesday night, incumbents Joseph Kirkeeng, Joseph Kosteck and Christopher Lucchetti are expected to keep their seats. Challengers Beth Janus-Doyle and Aaron Janik have also been elected.
While the results showed three incumbents re-elected to the board, it also meant the ousting of two current board members: Dee Molinare and Chris Kosel. Kosel was a member of the board during a number of decisions that led up to the financial woes the district has faced in recent years.
