  Cameron has been elected Bureau County Sheriff. Camera R has the lead
• 0:24
  over Mike Whittig D in the race for Bureau County Sheriff, according
• 0:28
  to unofficial results from Tuesday night. Unofficial results with all precincts reporting
• 0:33
  have Camera with 7,259 votes to Whitiggs 4,786.
• 0:40
  We're definitely pleased, Camera said. Camera learned of the results surrounded by
• 0:46
  members of his election committee and other Bureau County deputies. Everyone can
• 0:51
  take a breath now, and the it's time to get to work,
• 0:53
  he said. If the results hold, Camera will succeed James Reed, who
• 0:58
  did not seek re-election to the
• 0:59
  Bureau County Sheriff’s Office, on December 1. It's going to be a
• 1:04
  seamless transition, Camera said. We're ready to hit the ground running. Cammerer
• 1:10
  has served as Princeton Police Chief for the past eight years and
• 1:13
  spent more than two decades prior with the Naperville Police department where
• 1:17
  he retired as a commander. Whittig, a deputy with the Bureau County
• 1:22
  Sheriff's Office, sang Cammerer's praises while acknowledging Tuesday's result was not what
• 1:27
  he was hoping for. Obviously this is not what we were hoping
• 1:31
  for, but my opponent ran a respectable campaign, Wittig said. Tom is
• 1:36
  a good guy. He's got the best intentions with our department moving
• 1:39
  forward.
