Democratic nominee Michael F. Sheahan defeated O'Grady by a broad margin. O'Grady suffered one of biggest defeats that a Republican Party nominee had experienced in a countywide Cook County election in years. Sheahan had managed to beat O'Grady in 24 of the county's 30 suburban townships and in every ward of Chicago.O`Connor Matt GOP'S HOPES FOR O'GRADY GO SOUR https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1990-11-08-9004020554-story.html chicagotribune.com 18 June 2020 8 November 1990 Sheahan had even managed to carry many of the county's Republican strongholds. Within the city of Chicago, O'Grady even trailed Harold Washington Party nominee Tommy Brewer, who was considered a political unknown.

Originally, Kusper had been the race's frontrunner, but by election day, had been relegated to an also-ran.
