Toni Preckwinkle will run for reelection as Cook County Board president next year
Cook County Board president Toni Preckwinkle will run for a third term in 2018, she announced during a pair of radio interviews. Preckwinkle has been widely considered a frontrunner to run for mayor in 2019, but she avoided a question about the mayoral race, saying, “I got this job in 2010. I was fortunate enough to be reelected in 2014. I will seek reelection one more time.” [Tribune]
