Chicago has always been my home. As a young girl I grew up in Cabrini Green. I’ve always known that our system needs to change, and I’ve spent my career fighting for children and families like the ones I grew up with. Over the past three years, I’ve focused on prosecuting violent crimes, not low-level offenses. We beat the NRA in court over their attacks on Cook County’s common-sense assault weapons ban, and our county has become a national model for reform.

I ran for for re-election because I want to fight every single day to continue the important work of reforming justice and making a fairer, safer system for Cook County.
