O'Dekirk had been running for a third term as Joliet mayor.
D'Arcy is a car dealership owner, who believes he can apply his 31 years of business skills to running the state's third largest city."I need something to do to finish off my career, and what better thing to do than bring the city into the future?" D'Arcy previously said.
D'Arcy said the next mayor must implement a 20-year plan that includes ideas to keep young people in Joliet. "Some of our zoning is so old. We need to take a look at it to make sure it's gonna fit today's needs and the needs of young people," D'Arcy added. All the candidates agreed downtown Joliet needs development to compete with neighboring cities, like Aurora.
O'Dekirk said the pandemic slowed down some much needed downtown projects. The mayor also faced criticism for a revolving door of city managers and police chiefs during his terms
