Cook County commissioners old and new heaped praise on Brandon Johnson during his last county board meeting before he’s sworn in as Chicago mayor.
Chicago Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson is recognized as he attends his final Cook County Board meeting, April 27, 2023.
First elected to represent the city’s West Side and near western suburbs on the county board in 2018, and reelected in November, Johnson’s team said he planned to formally resign from the county board in early May. Democratic Party leaders from Johnson’s district — led by Illinois Senate President Don Harmon, who is the committeeperson for Oak Park Township —Brandon Johnson has spent four years on the Cook County Board.
“Collaboration was difficult” with mayors Rahm Emanuel and Lightfoot, Preckwinkle said, “and I’m cleaning up my language.”Several commissioners alluded to a closed passageway between the fifth floor of the city and the county headquarters, where the mayor’s and county board president’s offices face each other. Commissioner Stanley Moore said he expected the passageway to “stay wide open and we can work together.
