Chicago Ald. George Cardenas beat incumbent Commissioner Tammy Wendt in the Democratic primary race for Cook County Board of Review.
Though the dust was still setting Wednesday in some of Cook County’s primary races, at least two incumbents were ousted while a third was bracing for a potential upset loss.
Anthony Joel Quezada, candidate for 8th District Cook County Commissioner, talks with a staff member during the Northwest Side Progressives Rally at Humboldt Park on June 18, 2022, in Chicago. “I don’t know that she will concede,” Cardenas said. “If she’s not paying attention to what the ethics was telling her, I’m sure that she’s not — I don’t know what happens.”
Cardenas also said he wants an “alert system” to track when Board of Review employees work on files to ensure that no one is playing favorites.“That type of accountability and transparency is important so there’s no shenanigans going on,” Cardenas said. Quezada, the Democratic nominee of the 8th District on the county board, said his win over sitting commissioner Arroyo Jr., whose father“Clearly it says that we have a progressive community but, more importantly, I think people are done with corporate politics,” Quezada said. “I think they’re done with the status quo. They want to see change.”Quezada, a current staffer for 35th Ward Ald. Carlos Ramirez-Rosa, is believed to be the first Democratic socialist poised to join county government.
