Judge Mike Kramer, a Kankakee County associate judge, was an easy winner Tuesday for circuit court judge. He was a unanimous winner over State's Attorney Jamie Boyd, who opted to seek the judgeship and not seek re-election for state's attorney.

Kramer won 10,220 votes (74%) to Boyd's 26 percent (3,562).

Boyd has been state's attorney for nearly 10 years. He was appointed in 2006 before winning two consecutive elections.

Kramer will now run unopposed in the November election; and the circuit court judges will have to appoint someone to take Kramer's spot as an associate judge.
