Eileen O’Neill Burke is a lifelong Democrat, prosecutor, criminal defense attorney and judge running for Cook County State’s Attorney. She’s running because she loves Chicago and raised her kids here. She wants to increase the safety of Cook County, prosecute violent crime, crack down on illegal guns, and be the change that the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office needs.
Her opponent, Clayton Harris, is politics as usual. He hasn’t been in a courtroom for 20 years. Instead, he was a corporate lobbyist and worked as the Chief of Staff to convicted former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. He’s been proudly endorsed by the current State’s Attorney Kim Foxx and even gave Foxx an “A” for her time in office.
Early voting is open now. Turnout is expected to be low and your vote could make the difference. Learn more about Eileen at www.justiceforcookcounty.com. Learn more about how to vote for Eileen below:
