Howard B. Brookins, Jr. (21st Ward) and his campaign for Cook County State's Attorney. In announcing his support, Congressman Danny Davis (7th Illinois District) called Brookins "eminently qualified and capable of running the State's Attorney's Office." Congressman Bobby Rush (1st Illinois District) referred to the Brookins candidacy as, "the most important political race since the election of Harold Washington as Chicago's first African American mayor." In accepting their endorsements, Brookins said, "I am honored to receive the support of two giants of Chicago politics." Brookins went on to call it a major boost to his campaign for Cook County State's Attorney. "The endorsement from Congressmen Davis and Rush is but one more example of the strength of our campaign." Brookins added, "This endorsement is a major boost to my candidacy." Congressman Rush suggested that despite five other candidates in the race, Brookins is the leading candidate and "the man to beat." Congressman Davis declared that, "What I know is that Howard Brookins will be tough on crime, he will fight to make our neighborhoods safe, by moving aggressively against gang bangers and drug dealers. But added Davis, "Howard Brookins will also be fair in the way cases are handled in the State's Attorney's office, especially as they relate to African Americans. Both Congressmen praised Brookins for his independent leadership in City Council, particularly on the tough issues such as more police accountability, in the wake of a series of high profile police shootings. Both Rush and Davis pledged to support Brookins in any way that Brookins sees fit, that includes making campaign appearances with Brookins between now and the February 5th primary elections. | | | | | | |
