Candidates

Toni Preckwinkle (D) - Incumbent

“We plan to launch a new program to abolish medical debt using ARPA funds. This program is the first of its kind and will partner with a qualified non-profit to purchase and retire up to $1 billion in debt of Cook County residents.”

Richard R. Boykin (D)

“Gun violence, carjackings, retail thefts, and other crimes have terrorized our neighborhoods. Children are dying in the streets at alarming rates and families are not getting justice. My number one priority is to make sure that our Cook County neighborhoods are safe for children just like my 15-year-old son Elijah.”

Thea Tsatsos (L)

“We have been living in a collective worldview with a mindset that the only options are government and more government. Very few of us are able to consider a society composed of adults and children, able-bodied, and other than able-bodied, cisgendered, transgendered, non-binary individuals who can mutually exist in a consenting and self-governing manner.”
