2025-2026 Campaign

As an organizer, an attorney, and an environmentalist, I am running to be Commissioner:

1) to prepare Cook County for increased pressure on the sewer system by equitably scaling up green infrastructure across the county to alleviate flooding;

2) to support good governance in the county, including a focus on good financial practices, public participation and transparency.

3) to protect the Chicago River and Lake Michigan.

Background and Next Steps:

There are three six-year terms and one two-year term that will expire in 2026.  The two-year term will finish out the last two years of the term that formerly belonged to our now Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Mariyana Spyropoulos.

The Cook County Democratic Party will do pre-slating in April, followed by slating in July.

Petition gathering will begin in August of this year!  The petition process will require around 6,000 signatures of folks who are registered to vote at the addresses they provide on the petitions.  Standard practice is to gather 2-3 times the amount of required signatures to account for those that are rejected when challenged.  We will be aiming for collecting 15,000 signatures, and I could use your help!  Please sign up HERE for volunteer opportunities including signature collection.

Of course, supplies, union printing, signature verification, voter data, and messaging to voters will cost money.  Please consider making a donation today!
