Ald. Brendan Reilly voted to scale back Chicago's protections for undocumented immigrants 5 days before Trump took office; that makes him the wrong choice to lead Cook County, Toni Preckwinkle says. Reilly says that measure was designed “to get violent criminals off the streets."
The debate over how to respond to President Trump’s aggressive efforts to carry out mass deportations is the newest flashpoint in the race for Cook County Board president. @wttw news.wttw.com/2026/02/16/deb…
Donald Trump’s agents are untrained, unqualified, unprofessional, and dangerous. It’s time for them to stop their assault on American cities.
Grateful for @OP_Dems and @HarmonForSenate's endorsement. Huge thanks to everyone who came out today - the energy in the room was incredible! Together, we’re standing strong against Trump and his allies for our communities and the services they rely on.
Today’s murder in Minneapolis is another consequence of Trump’s agenda of terror and cruelty. This isn’t law enforcement, it’s federal brutality that puts families and communities at risk. We cannot stay silent.
As President, I’m committed to protecting healthcare, keeping communities safe, and creating economic opportunity across Cook County.
Proud to earn the endorsement of @chicagolabor. As President, I’ll keep working for working families across Cook County.
The Cook County Board voted unanimously Thursday to approve Board President Toni Preckwinkle’s $10.1 billion budget for next year, a spending plan without a deficit or layoffs, new taxes, fees or fines. chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2025/…
It’s official: Cook County’s Guaranteed Income Program is now permanent. As the federal government backs away from working families, we’re doubling down. Everyone deserves economic stability and dignity. thetriibe.com/2025/11/cook-c…
Cook County just made history. With its 2026 budget, the County becomes the first in the nation to make #guaranteedincome permanent, putting money directly back into families’ pockets. ESIL is proud to partner on this nation-leading effort. economicsecurityproject.org/news/cook-coun…
Even by the standards of the Trump administration, this is horrifying. No child should ever see that. No educator should ever fear that. It’s cruelty meant to make us afraid. That's why we must continue to stand up and speak out. abc7chicago.com/post/chicago-d…
A judge found no reason to hold Ruben Torres Maldonado because there never was one. He should have been with his family, not fighting for his freedom. This is the senseless cruelty of the Trump administration. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/30/jud…
The Trump Administration is trying to intimidate and silence dissent. Cook County’s diversity is our strength. We will keep showing up, speaking out, and standing together for our neighbors, our rights, and our democracy.
JUST FILED: 40,000+ signatures from across Cook County - 5x what’s required to get on the ballot. Grateful for this show of support and ready to keep fighting for the people of Cook County.
No Kings. Not now, not ever.
Cook County won’t be a staging ground for Trump’s agenda. His politics of fear, division, and discrimination have no place here. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/20…
Years of fiscal strength allow us to lead with our values - and deliver results. This budget does more for residents without asking for more: Expanding health access. Investing in community safety. Building partnerships to grow our regional economy. chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2024/…
Full house at today’s Women’s Luncheon! Huge thanks to the incredible Hedy Ratner for inspiring us with her lifelong commitment to justice and equity. We’re in this together. We’re not backing down. We’ll keep fighting to protect and expand women’s rights.
💧 Big news for the South Suburbs! Harvey’s new emergency water main is complete. That means reliable water for residents, businesses, and hospitals when it matters most Part of an $11.5M investment in South & West Suburbs water infrastructure. youtube.com/watch?v=B8se6T…
