| Description | Cook County Democrats on Tuesday chose Chicago Alderman Todd Stroger to replace his ailing father on the November ballot for county board president. The Democrats met Tuesday in Chicago to consider two candidates--Todd Stroger and U.S. Rep. Danny DavisÑ to fill the spot on the ballot left by retiring Cook County Board President John Stroger, who's been recovering from the stroke he suffered a week before the March primary.
The 77-year-old has not been seen or heard from publicly since then, except through letters that came weeks ago when the powerful Democrat dropped his re-election bid and announced he would retire July 31 from the county board.
Both Todd Stroger and Davis had numerous Democrat leaders speak on their behalf during a nearly two-hour meeting of the Cook County Democratic Party's Central Committee, but members overwhelmingly voted for the younger Stroger.
He will face Republican Commissioner Tony Peraica in the fall. |
