• ‘Broadview Six' prosecution claims a political casualty as Cook County Board candidate ‘Cat' Sharp exits race (chicagotribune.com) — Park Ridge is part of Cook County’s 9th District, where Commissioner Maggie Trevor will run unopposed in the March Democratic primary after a challenger was removed from the ballot. The broader story details how a high-profile federal case against immigration protesters pushed another County Board candidate from a different district out of her race and reshuffled several countywide contests.
