Ted Mason Announces Candidacy for Cook County Commissioner, 15th District

“I am proud to announce my candidacy for Cook County Commissioner in the 15th District. Having served as Chief of Staff to Commissioner Kevin Morrison for over six years, I am excited to continue the work of expanding access to mental health care, bringing resources to our small businesses in the northwest suburbs, and providing Cook County with balanced budgets.

As a father to four young children, I am invested in making our communities safe, diverse, and vibrant. As a lifelong public servant, I look forward to engaging with all residents to hear their concerns and represent them on the Board of Commissioners.”

Commissioner Kevin Morrison said, “Ted Mason’s unwavering commitment to public service is why I am so proud to endorse him for my now open Cook County Commissioner seat. There is no one I have more faith in being prepared from day one to take on this important role. Ted has been a champion for helping elect some of the hardest working public servants that the northwest suburbs has seen. I have full faith that he will continue to build upon the legacy we have created when you took a chance in supporting me.”

President Toni Preckwinkle said, "I am proud to support Ted Mason for Cook County Commissioner. Since 2018, his work at the County has helped our efforts to provide millions in grant assistance to our small businesses in the northwest suburbs and to erase $79.2 million in medical debt for the 15th District. I look forward to having his leadership on the County Board."
