The Cook County Clerk’s Race is Heating Up
The Cook County Circuit Court Clerk race is getting hotter by the day. It all started when the Cook County Democratic Party yanked its support away from incumbent, Cook County Clerk Dorothy Brown, after news reports surfaced last fall that FBI agents visited Brown’s home and seized her government-issued cell phone; and after a subpoena served on Brown and her husband Benton Cook III earlier this year asked for documents tied to one of his businesses. Shortly afterwards, the Cook County Democratic Party endorsed Chicago Ald. Michele Harris (8th Ward) who announced in November that she would be running against Brown.
