“All this did ... was hold back women of color,' Carmen Navarro Gercone said of the justice reform law that led to her ousting.
The Democratic primary for Cook County sheriff will officially be a two-man contest this month after challenger Carmen Navarro Gercone’s last hope for getting back on the ballot was dashed.
Dart will now oppose Chicago police Sgt. Noland Rivera in the June 28 primary; the winner will face Libertarian candidate and sheriff’s office Sgt. Brad Sandefur in November.When asked to weigh in on the effective end of her campaign, an audibly frustrated Navarro Gercone castigated the new requirement for sheriff candidates, tucked into the sweeping criminal justice reform bill signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker last year.
“I certainly can’t walk around picking what laws we follow and what laws we don’t follow,” Dart told the Tribune last week.That was right after an appellate court ruled Navarro Gercone was ineligible to run for sheriff because she failed to obtain the law enforcement certification or complete the equivalent training with another state or the federal government.
While she was never a sworn police officer, Navarro Gercone had training as a corrections officer and was a sergeant, a lieutenant and an assistant chief at the sheriff’s office. Dart, Cook County’s sheriff for 16 years, was once a prosecutor but was never a sworn police officer. While his status is not an issue because he is grandfathered in under the new law, Dart received a law enforcement certification late last year, according to state records.
