(WBBM NEWSRADIO) — It looks like Elgin's three-term mayor will be getting a fourth term.

Results from Cook County and Kane County indicated 75-year-old Elgin Mayor Dave Kaptain leads challenger Corey Dixon by more than 1,300 votes, which left Kaptain with 57% of the vote to Dixon's 43%.


Kaptain, a chemist, became mayor of Elgin in 2011. Both candidates had said the city's finances looked good, but Dixon argued Elgin should be more proactive in bringing new businesses to downtown.

Kaptain has said that more people are living downtown now and that development needs to respond to their needs, as well as those who just go downtown for entertainment.
