Karen Yarbrough won the race for 7th District Committeewoman. You have to add the results from the Cook County Clerk's web site (http://www.cookcountyclerk.com/) to the results form the Chicago Board of Elections for races that cross city/county boundaries. Also, Robert Steele did not "win again". This is his 1st election. His mother, Bobbie Steele, was re-elected in 2006. Robert Steele was appointed to the seat following her resignation. Robert and Bobbie Steele are two different people.
