The candidates were running to fill outgoing commissioner Lowell McGlothin’s seat. In November, Patterson will face Democrat Kevin O’Neill, a former longtime Springfield city commissioner who lost his seat in November 2023 to newcomer Tracey Tackett.
“We want to thank the voters for the confidence they’ve put into our campaign, and we look forward to the general election in the fall,” Patterson said. “We have a formidable opponent in former city commissioner Kevin O’Neill.”
Voter turnout is reported at 26.11%.
Patterson has held positions in multiple counties, been involved with the state and testified in front of Congress in his health commissioner role, from which he retired after 23 years in the role in January.
