Yes, but if you donโ€™t live or work nearby, itโ€™s better to stay in โ€œlistening modeโ€ and focus on understanding the key concerns so that we can respond accordingly.

Help elect Drake Warren for Cook County Commissioner (District 10) by greeting voters at the polls. A friendly face and a quick conversation can make a real difference. Poll greeters can help win hundreds of votes on Election Day alone. ๐Ÿ’ช

Completely unacceptable rates of attendance for our public servants in office.

Once elected County Commissioner, I commit to the role full-time - no questions asked.

Some Cook County Board commissioners skip more than 20% of their meetings A WBEZ analysis of board meeting records revealed two incumbents with primary challengers scored among the worst truancy rates in this term.

Bridget Gainer missed nearly 1 in 4 board meetings โ€” the second-worst attendance record among incumbent commissioners.

Cook County deserves elected officials like Drake Warren who will treat their position as their full-time job, not a side gig.

Housing costs now top crime as Chicago votersโ€™ biggest worry, poll finds The results represent a shift from 2022, when a similar poll by Illinois Realtors found crime and gun violence led votersโ€™ worries by a wide margin.

In a recent poll conducted for Illinois Realtors, "41% of people registered and planning to vote put housing affordability at the top of their list of worries", far exceeding crime and gun violence, which received 23%.

It's time to BUILD ๐Ÿ˜๏ธ
