“There’s a heated battle in the Democratic primary for Cook County assessor that few saw coming. Incumbent Joseph Berrios has held the office since 2010 and is also the powerful chairman of the Cook County Democratic Party.
His challenger, political newcomer Fritz Kaegi, is leading in the polls and has secured the endorsements of the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times and the Daily Herald as well as some lawmakers such as U.S. Reps. Mike Quigley, Robin Kelly, Bobby Rush, Danny Davis, Jan Schakowsky and Bill Foster.
Berrios has come under fire on a number of fronts including a scathing report by the non-partisan Civic Consulting Alliance that shows disadvantaged communities are disproportionally hard hit by property taxes while affluent residents hire lawyers to reduce their assessments.”
