Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker also showed up to encourage the party to back President Biden's reelection, while trash-talking Donald Trump.
Mariyana Spyropoulos, a candidate for clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County, attends a Cook County Democrats slating meeting Aug. 15, 2023, at IBEW Local 134.
The state’s attorney race, though, will be one of the most closely watched. Tuesday’s vote came after progressives allied with Preckwinkle pressed O’Neill Burke on her Democratic credentials. She requested that the party opt not to slate either candidate and leave the primary open.Who will replace Kim Foxx? Only one potential candidate appears at Cook County Democrats’ pre-slating despite wide-open raceThe former judge and state Sen.
“What else do you want me to say, Rob? I am not a Republican, I have voted in every Democratic primary since I was 18,” she said.Chicago Ald. Walter Burnett, 27th Ward committeeperson, gave her a gentle rebuke. “I know you know Rob personally, but we’re committeemen here, and you should respect us as committeemen also.”
As president of the Illinois Judges Association, O’Neill Burke said she had made friends with judges across the political spectrum, that she’d known Brennan a long time and that he was a well-rated, “excellent jurist.” She contrasted that to Williams, whom the Illinois State Bar Association listed as “not recommended.”
Harris, in a written statement, later said he was “energized by the opportunity to travel across county, hearing people’s concerns, and listening to their ideas on how to make our communities safer. I’m committed to doing the work to ensure our office focuses on holding violent offenders accountable, and continues to push forward on the urgent work of reform.”
The party was clearly divided over its choice for circuit court clerk, a role that oversees paperwork for the county’s massive court system. Martinez, who won despite the party endorsing a different candidate in 2020, returned to ask for its endorsement this time. Martinez likewise defended her tenure in office clearing expungement backlogs and opening a call center, arguing she inherited several problems from her predecessor and still has work to do. She said she plans to run whether she receives the endorsement or not.
