URBANA – If Duane Northrup doesn't win, he's not sure what he'll do.
"That'll be the first thing on my mind tomorrow," he said at Brookens Administrative Center in Urbana, where he and other local candidates gathered to hear results.
He may not have to wonder. The Republican incumbent Champaign County coroner beat Democrat Mark Medlyn by more than 5 percent, with 38,855 votes to Medlyn’s 35,047.
