I am so proud of the campaign we ran, and I am honored to have had the opportunity to share my vision for a safer and more just Cook County with all of you. I’ve just called @EileenCookCnty to congratulate her on a hard fought victory. While we have fallen just a bit short of victory, our work is far from over. We must continue to demand accountability, transparency, and fairness from our justice system. Thank you for your unwavering support. I am truly humbled and grateful.

Looks like everyone is talking about my opponent Eileen O’Neill Burke tonight. Is it because she wrongfully convicted a Black 10 year-old for murder, or because her campaign is funded by extreme GOP donors? wbez.org/stories/eileen-onei…

A candidate in Tuesday's Democratic primary claimed in 1994 that a ten-year-old Black boy was part of “a whole new breed” of criminals. Eileen O'Neill Burke has remained largely unapologetic both for her comments and her role in his wrongful conviction. boltsmag.org/cook-county-chi…
