• Aldermanic Black Caucus Chair Roderick Sawyer (6) endorsed Assessor Joe Berrios for re-election, per a release sent Thursday afternoon. At an event at Captain’s Hard Times in Chatham, Sawyer said “Berrios has worked with our community and made the assessment process easier for seniors and homeowners. As chairman of the Cook County Democratic Party, Joe Berrios has ensured that our party slate reflects the diversity in the Cook County. I’m glad to be supporting him.” Sawyer parted with his Progressive Caucus colleague Scott Waguespack, who endorsed Frederick “Fritz” Kaegi in the Assessor’s race two weeks ago.
