“I ran for County Clerk in 1990 to win and prove that a Cook County office could be run well and cleanly,” said Cook County Clerk David Orr.

​County Clerk David Orr was the featured speaker at the “Food for Thought” luncheon sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Cook County on July 16, 2018. 

Speaking before a sold-out event, Clerk Orr touched on a number of topics:  some of the accomplishments over the past 28 years that he has been Clerk; some of the current challenges to our democracy; and some of his recommendations for improving elections and government. 

This event raised over $900 for the League’s Education Fund, which will likely be used to help support the Video Voter’s Guide for the November election which the Cook County League helps sponsor with WTTW, Channel 11. READ MORE
