Cook County, it’s been the honor of my life to serve as your Assessor. Tonight wasn't what we were hoping for, but the fight for a fairer tax system continues — and I'll be fighting alongside you every step of the way.

Here’s the choice on Tuesday: Someone who will never take a dime from property tax lawyers and special interests, or someone who wants to sell out Cook County to all of them. I’m running for re-election to serve you and no one else. Make sure to vote by March 17!

I’m grateful for Ald. Beale’s support and for his partnership in reforming the property tax system. We need big corporations to pay their fair share so Cook County families pay less. Election Day is 3/17 — tell your friends to GOTV by this Tuesday!

The property tax system should work for the people of Cook County and no one else. I wrote in @crainschicago.bsky.social about how we're fighting to stop corporate tax breaks, lower bills for homeowners, and make the system fairer and more transparent. www.chicagobusiness.com/opinion/comm...

As Chair of the City Council Finance Committee, Ald. Pat Dowell has pushed to make life more affordable for Chicagoans, and she understands the challenges homeowners face when big corporations and the politically connected receive handouts they don’t deserve. I’m grateful for her support.

My opponent says he's a Democrat, but his donors tell a different story. Pat Hynes is being funded by: Major MAGA donors, union busters, landlords who sued their own tenants, and property tax attorneys who helped Trump cut his tax bill. On March 17, send MAGA Pat packing.

I’m grateful for Ald. Quezada’s support, and for his commitment to closing loopholes that big corporations exploit to screw over homeowners. We have more work to do to relieve the tax burden on working families. I’m proud to be doing this work with him.

Appreciated the chance to sit down with CCAC and their members. They've been pushing for smart investment in Chicago's central business district since the 1950s. We talked about the progress we've made on commercial assessments and what's next for property tax fairness in Cook County.

When big commercial properties get tax cuts they don't deserve, homeowners pay for it. I was happy to sit down with CBS Chicago to talk about how I'm fighting to bring costs down for Cook County families with more tax relief and by making corporations pay their fair share.

Ald. Taliaferro is working to lower the tax burden on working families, particularly for homeowners in his ward. I’m proud to do this work alongside him, and he’s been a great partner hosting events throughout the 29th Ward to provide resources and assistance to anyone who needs them.

Big Tech is already driving up your utility bills with their AI data centers. Now their property tax lawyers are driving up your property tax bill, too. I'm running for re-election to stop corporations like these from getting property tax cuts they don't deserve. It's unfair, and it has to stop.

Big corporations have enough politicians in their corner. I'm working to make sure the system works for YOU. We've expanded tax relief for homeowners, helped create 15,000+ new affordable homes, and we're leading the fight to protect families from property tax spikes.

I’m leading the fight for more property tax relief from Springfield. My ‘circuit breaker’ plan would protect homeowners when property taxes spike. This type of program already exists in 29 other states — Illinois families deserve the same protections.

Honored to have Commissioner Maggie Trevor’s support! Commissioner Trevor has pushed for fair tax policy on the County Board — and she knows that fight starts with an Assessor who won't let big corporations game the system.
Coo County Commissioner Maggie Trevor Endorses Fritz Kaegi"Before Fritz Kaegi, the Cook County Assessor's office was openly corrupt and incompetent, to the point where everyday homeowners were paying more in taxes than the biggest mansions on the lakefront. It is thanks to Fritz's work that the Cook County Assessor's Office has set an international standard for fairness and transparency. While more work needs to be done to ensure that corporations are truly paying their fair share in taxes, Fritz has been a key partner in that work - and we need his voice in office"

Everyone in Cook County knows what pay-to-play corruption looks like, and this is it: Property tax lawyers who get rich from corporate tax breaks have donated more than $100,000 to Pat Hynes. They know he'll work for them instead of Cook County homeowners.

Trump Tower got a huge tax cut it didn’t deserve. Everyone in Cook County is paying for it. Now, the tax attorneys who made it happen are bankrolling my opponent. He thinks big commercial properties are paying too much — I think they’re not paying enough.
