In addition to countywide wins for Cook County Democrats in the 2022 midterm elections, Democrats also performed a clean sweep of all four open seats on the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD).

The MWRD, which is responsible for protecting area waterways and Lake Michigan, treating wastewater and providing stormwater management for Chicago and suburban Cook County, usually has at least three seats up for election on its nine-member board each cycle as board members serve staggered six-year terms.
