According to the 2020 Census, Cook County is 40-percent white, 26-percent Latino, 22-percent Black, and 8-percent Asian. Chicago is 21 percent of the state’s population. But the statewide ticket recently endorsed by the Cook County Democratic Party is overwhelmingly made up of white Chicagoans (JB Pritzker, Alexi Giannoulias, Mike Frerichs, and Margaret Croke), with two Black Chicagoans (Lieutenant Governor candidate Christian Mitchell and Kwame Raoul) and no Latinos or Asian Americans.
