Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson has not decided when he will relinquish his seat on the Cook County Board of Commissioners, but he said it’s likely he will make one final appearance at the April board meeting in a few weeks before he takes office on the fifth floor of City Hall in May. 

In an interview Friday with The Daily Line, Johnson reflected on his time as a county commissioner for District 1, having served a little more than one full term before winning the election for Chicago mayor last week.
