Overview

John P. Daley has served on the Cook County Board of Commissioners since 1992 and chairs the Finance Committee.1 In 2018, he told the Chicago Sun-Times the board had not increased its property tax levy in over 15 years and that keeping costs down was essential.2 He also said he wanted to consolidate human resources across county offices, and called for better training and billing at the county health system after an inspector general report.2 The Chicago Teachers Union says his reforms strengthened accountability for county contracts and tax compliance.3 In 2026, he opposed a plan to move the White Sox out of Bridgeport and relocate an Amtrak facility to the neighborhood.4
