ST. CHARLES – The St. Charles resident who was appointed by Mayor Ray Rogina in 2013 looks like he will keep his Ward 3 seat for four more years.

Alderman Todd Bancroft received 430 votes to beat newcomer Naomi Bosko, who received 201 votes, according to unofficial election results.

"We're very happy here," Bancroft said Tuesday night, speaking from Salerno's on the Fox in downtown St. Charles. "It was a great team effort, a lot of support."

Bancroft was joined by his family, coworkers and some of his fellow aldermen, and Rogina also made a brief appearance. Rogina appointed Bancroft to Rogina’s former seat in the ward after Rogina was elected mayor in 2013.

Bosko took in the results with family and friends at her home. She has not ruled out another run for a Ward 3 seat.

"I wish [Bancroft] the best, and I just still love St. Charles as much as ever," Bosko said. "I hope that what's ahead for St. Charles is positive. I will now support the people that are in charge of that."
