A familiar name on local Democratic ballots for much of the last decade, former 2nd Ward Chicago alderman Bob Fioretti is running for office again: as a Republican.
Bob Fioretti speaks with the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board in 2020. The former alderman has run against Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle and State's Attorney Kim Foxx as a Democrat; now he's challenging Preckwinkle as a Republican.
He joins two other former Democrats and a Democratic staffer running in Cook County in the fall election. Fioretti has run and lost in nearly every campaign cycle since opting not to seek reelection for alderman in 2015. He ran for mayor instead, eventually endorsing incumbent Mayor Rahm Emanuel. He finished fourth, and last, in the 2020 Democratic primary race for Cook County state’s attorney, and placed 12th out of 14 candidates when he ran for mayor again in 2019, the year voters elected Lori Lightfoot.
