* The Cook County Board of Review’s 1st District had been represented by Republican Dan Patlak until Democrat Tammy Wendt won last November. The remap solidifies the 1st District as Democratic, but also makes it a Latinx influenced district. Wendt is an attorney who was on the defense team for former Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke…
Yesterday, IL Dems unveiled their district map for Cook County's Board of Review, a three-member board that oversees property assessment complaints. Dems flipped the 1st district in 2020 and hold all three seats. This map makes the 1st safe for Dems going forward. (1/5) #twill pic.twitter.com/6ZZi25Zo5G

Under the old boundaries, the 1st district was a 62% white district, but under the new boundaries, it has gone from 20.7% Latino to 43% Latino, creating a possible minority opportunity district. Incumbent Tammy Wendt may face difficulty against a Latino primary challenger. (3/5)

The new 3rd district unites the Chicago Southland into a single district, going from a 87-8 Clinton, 86-10 Duckworth district to a 83-13 Clinton, 81-15 Duckworth district. The district is 59.7% Black CVAP, and incumbent Larry Rogers should have no problem with reelection. (5/5)

Thinking back to Maureen Murphy who won the seat first… and her politics… this seat has evolved now that a “Murphy-type” might not get 35%

Rightful birthplace of the Joe Barrios we all grew to love.

The GQP is already a super-minority in the county of Cook. Now they are losing the last vestiges of power. Hard to compete statewide when a party writes off the City and the suburbs.

Hope Wendt gets a strong primary opponent next round.
