About this user

Welcome! Thank you for your interest in supporting real and responsible change for Cook County.

For nearly 20 years, I have worked as an independent voice in Chicago's City Council, committed to improving the lives of Chicago's working families. I have fought and won battles for higher living wages, more affordable housing, better health care and safer schools in the city of Chicago.

As Alderman and Committeeman of the 4th Ward, I have been committed to providing open and transparent government. I know that across the county citizens are distrustful and dissatisfied with Cook County government. Indeed, the complete lack of transparency and accountability in government actions has brought some disastrous consequences. As Cook County Board President, I will institute transparency and openness in all County procedures. I will insist on monthly financial reports for the county health system (which constitutes more than 30% of the County budget), including benchmarks for both revenue and expenses. You deserve to know how your tax dollars are being spent.

Additionally, I will conduct zero-based budgeting to identify inefficiencies and waste in the County budget, in order to reduce the tax burden on all Cook County residents. I fully intend to follow President Obama's example and put the County budget to work providing economic stimulus for Cook County residents. One of my immediate priorities will be to address the chronic overcrowding at Cook County Jail by fully funding more cost-efficient alternatives to incarceration. All citizens of Cook County have the right to an affordable and high-quality health care system, a safe and well-run criminal justice system, and the best possible management of their tax dollars.

It's time for a new approach to county government and I am eager to serve as your County Board President.
