The 2020 Will County Executive election was held on November 3, 2020. Incumbent Democratic County Executive Larry Walsh declined to run for re-election to a fifth term, citing health issues.[1] Walsh died on June 3, 2020,[2] and County Board Speaker Denise Winfrey was appointed to serve out the remainder of his term.[3]
State Senator Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant ran to succeed Walsh, and faced Nick Palmer, Walsh's chief of staff, in the Democratic primary. Bertino-Tarrant defeated Palmer by a wide margin, winning 69 percent of the vote, and advanced to the general election, where she was opposed by Republican Nick Ficarello, the former Braidwood Police Chief. Bertino-Tarrant defeated Ficarello with 54 percent of the vote.[4]
