CTU staffer fights to keep Chicago Mayor Johnson’s former seat on the Cook County Board – WBEZ (Chicago)

Cook County Board Commissioner Tara Stamps works for the Chicago Teachers Union, which helped fuel CTU organizer Brandon Johnson’s meteoric rise to become Chicago mayor last year. Stamps and Johnson go way back to their days at Jenner Elementary, where Stamps was the mayor’s mentor during his early years as a teacher. Stamps also has the backing of County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, who doubles as head of the Cook County Democratic Party.
