I'm tremendously saddened to hear of the passing of Clerk Karen Yarbrough. My thoughts are with her family and the Maywood & Proviso Township communities that have known her fierce advocacy and lifelong commitment to public service.

I’m honored to be the Democratic nominee for Cook County State’s Attorney! Congratulations to Clayton Harris on a hard-fought campaign. There is so much more that unites us than what divides us. I promise to work tirelessly to help build a safer, stronger Cook County together.

Who doesn’t love Manny’s? Their corned beef is so good that I buy it for my kids on St. Patrick’s Day and pretend like I made it. Love this Election Day tradition!

Grabbed a quick coffee for some energy at the Collectivo in Wicker Park. They have fantastic coffee & are unionized! Always great to support my friends in organized labor.
