It was a close race, but incumbents Steve Johnson and Sue Bertram will continue serving on the H-F Park District board of commissioners for 6 more years.
Leadership at the H-F Park District will remain more or less consistent in the coming years—but just barely.

With 29 of 29 precincts reporting, Bertram finished first, with 2,386 votes, followed by Johnson with 1,994. Bright-Pugh finished with 1,682, only 312 behind Johnson.
