SYCAMORE – DeKalb County State’s Attorney-elect Richard Schmack found special meaning in the voter returns from five precincts in Tuesday’s election.

Schmack captured 75 percent or more of the votes cast in his race in DeKalb Township precincts 2, 4, 5, 14 and 15 – which include Eden’s Garden apartments, much of Annie Glidden Road and Greek Row. Voters there want local leaders to address crime in their neighborhood, Schmack said, and he’s happy they decided he’s the man for the job.

“I hope I can live up to the confidence they have expressed in me,” he said.
