Ald. Brendan Reilly voted to scale back Chicago's protections for undocumented immigrants 5 days before Trump took office; that makes him the wrong choice to lead Cook County, Toni Preckwinkle says.
Reilly says that measure was designed “to get violent criminals off the streets."
The debate over how to respond to President Trump’s aggressive efforts to carry out mass deportations is the newest flashpoint in the race for Cook County Board president. @wttw news.wttw.com/2026/02/16/deb…

Donald Trump’s agents are untrained, unqualified, unprofessional, and dangerous.
It’s time for them to stop their assault on American cities.

Cook County just made history. With its 2026 budget, the County becomes the first in the nation to make #guaranteedincome permanent, putting money directly back into families’ pockets. ESIL is proud to partner on this nation-leading effort. economicsecurityproject.org/…

“In Cook County, we've seen a 35% drop in gun homicides from this time last year, and a 45% drop in gun homicides from 2021. Meanwhile, President Trump is freezing $158 million in funding for violence prevention programs in cities like Chicago, he's dismantling the office of gun violence prevention and terminating more than $800 million in anti violence grants nationwide,” says Cook County Board President @ToniPreckwinkle.

It’s indisputable—ending cash bail has made Illinois safer and fairer. But Trump and the Republicans don’t care about the facts. They’re only interested in sowing chaos and fear.
We won’t fall for it.

The Trump administration’s threat to activate a military occupation of Chicago is an illegal and brazen act of authoritarianism. Chicagoans and Illinoisans will be united in protecting all of our community members and in continuing to fight back against Trump’s overreach.

I am thrilled to hear that my friend @ToniPreckwinkle is running for re-election. A public servant through and through, Cook County is in excellent hands with her at the helm.
PS: And it’s her birthday! Here’s to many more 🥳

Last night, Paul Vallas lied on the debate stage about his record opposing abortion.
We have the receipts, Paul. 🧾
Just like your Republican backers, you said you fundamentally oppose abortion. We can’t let Republicans run Chicago.

Making quality care available to all residents regardless of ability to pay is critical to the health of our county. I am proud to continue working with @CookCtyHealth to secure the future of the health system, and foster a place where everyone will want to receive care.

Very pleased to welcome @VP Kamala Harris back to Cook County for an important pro-choice roundtable and rally. As women in government, I'm proud to be among those leaders who continue to fight for women's health and a woman's right to choose.
