Cook County Commissioner Sean Morrison won’t run for reelection in 2026 – CBS News

Cook County Commissioner Sean Morrison (R-17th) announced Thursday he will not run for reelection next year, saying he believes "public service should be a season of contribution, not a lifetime occupation, and it is important that I lead by example." Morrison, the lone Republican on the 17-member Cook County Board, also said the Democratic party's supermajority was a factor in his decision not to seek another term in office, saying his fellow commissioners' "ideological priorities diverge sharply from my own deeply held personal, ethical, and spiritual convictions."
