Republicans have found little electoral success in Cook County in recent years, but the party welcomed Fioretti's stances on police and public spending.
Former Chicago Ald. Bob Fioretti announces his candidacy for Cook County Board president as he greets people dining at the Billy Goat Tavern on Sept. 7, 2022.
Sean Morrison, the chair of the Cook County Republican Party who represents the 17th District on the County Board, suggested it’s a smart move to tie Preckwinkle to Foxx and crime, which he says is animating voters. Still, Cook County has not been hospitable to Republicans of late: President Joe Biden won in 2020 with 66% of the vote to Donald Trump’s 32%, only two Republicans remain on the County Board and no Republicans hold countywide office. A victory for Fioretti “would be huge,” Morrison said.
