Author:

May 11, 2015. Chicago. (ONN) Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez rose through the ranks of the Daley wing of Chicago Democratic Machine to become the most powerful Hispanic female in Illinois. Now, the most powerful black female in Illinois, County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, is set to dethrone the two-term Alvarez with her own Chief of Staff. If Alvarez runs for re-election in 2016, she will have lost nearly her entire political base.
