“The Cook County Democratic Party on Wednesday re-elected Joseph Berrios to a fifth term as its chairman,” the party has announced.
Unanimously. Yay, Democrats!
“In addition, the party unanimously re-elected its executive committee – Toni Preckwinkle, executive vice chairman; Lou Lang, executive vice chairman; Tim Bradford, first vice chairman; Carrie Austin, city vice chairman; Don Harmon, suburban vice chairman; Robert Martwick, secretary; Antonio Munoz, treasurer, and Karen Yarbrough, sergeant-at-arms.”
Bringin’ in Joe to share the lettuce.
“Gov. Patrick Quinn and his Lt. Gov. running mate Paul Vallas addressed the committeemen, calling on their support for the November 4 election.”
The transmogrification is complete.
“Preckwinkle made the nomination for Berrios to be re-elected.”
She only opposes convicted felons.
“She noted that ‘under the leadership of Joe Berrios, for the first time, African-Americans, Latinos and women have had a real opportunity for leadership in the party and have had a real opportunity to be slated by the party.”
Especially if they are members of his familiy.
“The party has gone through rapid modernization under Joe’s leadership. We are slating qualified and diverse candidates, resulting in huge progressive victories.”
True. He gave us Will Guzzardi.
