I am a for 45th Ward Democratic Committeeperson.
Joe Cook Announces Re-Election Campaign
Chicago, IL
After speaking with family and neighbors, and after much thought and consideration, I am honored to announce my candidacy for 45th Ward Democratic Committeeperson.
I have served as the 41st Ward Democratic Committeeperson for the past four years. Due to the recent re-map, our neighborhood is now in the 45th Ward so I am not eligible to run again for 41st Ward Democratic Committeeperson. I am proud of the work that the many volunteers of our Democratic Organization have done to recruit election judges, evaluate and recommend qualified Democratic candidates, and increase voter turnout. We have conducted open endorsement sessions for candidates in all races and will continue to do so
I am grateful for the grassroots support of many of our neighbors. I am also honored to announce that I have the endorsements the following elected officials who represent parts of the 45th Ward: U.S. Congressman Mike Quigley, State Senator Ram Villivalam, State Representative Mike Kelly, and Cook County Commissioner Bridget Gainer. I am also honored to have strong support from Organized Labor and the many Unions who have supported me in the past
Most importantly, I look forward to knocking on doors and speaking directly to voters to earn their support as well. It has been an absolute honor to be the representative for the 41st Ward to the Cook County Democratic Party. And I would be honored to continue in that role for the 45th Ward.

Proudly Serving Chicago’s 41st Ward
Chicago, IL
Over the past 4 years as the 41st Ward Democratic Committeeperson, Joe has built an inclusive and strong Ward Organization. Joe has a proven track record as a Committeeperson of endorsing and supporting qualified and ethical candidates for Public Office. Through the help of over 100 volunteers, thousands of signatures were gathered for candidates running on the local, countywide, statewide and federal levels. Joe also hosted many candidate forums and events where voters can hear directly from candidates. Joe has always held open endorsement sessions, where the members of the Organization vote on which candidates the Organization will endorse and support. Joe will continue to build upon this foundation as the 45th Ward Committeeperson as well.
