Chicago Tribune Endorsed!
“We think the right choice is crystal clear in this race, and should be equally as clear for law-and-order Republicans as for Democrats who also trust their state’s attorney to understand that a criminal’s life sometimes can be turned around, especially if they make mistakes when young. Very few Chicagoans believe that being tough on crime means no place for mercy or a second chance.
Burke is a woman on a mission to restore a sense of pride to the Cook County state’s attorney’s office. We believe that with the right support, she will effectively, aggressively and compassionately prosecute the core missions of seeking justice, protecting victims, reducing violent crime and keeping this county safe.”

Daily Herald Endorsed!
“O’Neill Burke’s diverse, direct experience with all aspects of the criminal justice system and her energetic descriptions of what has gone right, what has gone wrong and what needs to be kept and what to be improved show her to be a Democrat who has a firm grasp on the central goals of a prosecutor’s office and how to achieve them. We’re confident she will make a great Cook County state’s attorney, and she is endorsed.”
