Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle endorsed Brandon Johnson’s bid for Chicago mayor against Paul Vallas on Tuesday morning, describing Johnson as “the leader who reflects our vision, our values and our hopes for our city.”

“As a Cook County commissioner, he’s been focused on working families on the West Side and beyond. He successfully championed efforts to bring more transparency and equity to public safety. He’s been a leader in the county’s efforts to eliminate crushing medical debt. He’s also been a stalwart supporter of small businesses,” Preckwinkle said at a news conference standing next to Johnson outside the Cook County building. “He will bring to the mayor’s office a profound sense of responsibility, a commitment to honesty, and a healthy dose of courage, and believe me, he’s going to need all of it.”

Like Johnson is now, Preckwinkle was the Chicago Teachers Union’s chosen candidate for her unsuccessful mayoral bid in 2019 after she voiced strong support for an elected school board as well as a vow to freeze charter school expansions and closures of public schools.
