In addition to degrees in journalism and political science, she earned a Masters degree in education, a law degree where she focused on international and environmental law, and a PhD in Education Policy. Amara has always sought to translate complex public policy to a form that is easily understood and used by the public to arm people with the information they need to make the best decisions for their lives. She created “Thanks for Paying Your Taxes” – an animated series that simplifies public finance topics to help residents understand how their tax dollars are being used. Amara founded the Institute for Cooperative Economics and Economic Innovation, a social lab whose primary purpose is to educate, assist, and advocate for the expansion of cooperative economic models and other innovative economic development concepts that would diversify Chicago’s economic eco-system such as worker-owned cooperatives, housing cooperatives, community land trusts, sharing economy platforms, and financial institutions and products that support these enterprises. She co-authored the book “Chicago Isn’t Broke: Funding the City We Deserve” which proposes fiscally responsible revenue-generating proposals for the City as well as ways to eliminate corruption and waste in city government. She is a staunch advocate for transparency in city government and equity as a matter of policy.

    COOK COUNTY CLERK DAVID ORR 69 W. Washington, Suite 500, Chicago, Illinois 60602 TEL (312) 603-0996 FAX (312) 603-9788 WEB cookcountyclerk.com Dear Friends: The March 15, 2016 Presidential Primary shattered modern-day records going back more than 25 years. The popularity of initiatives such as Online Voter Registration and Election Day Registration, as well as registration and voting for 17-year-olds, proved there is a great desire by voters to take part in the electoral process. This was the first presidential election to include Election Day Registration and voting by 17-year- olds who will be 18-years-old by the General Election – offerings we found to be very popular with suburban Cook County voters. This 2016 Presidential Primary Post-Election Report takes a comprehensive look at the voting totals, trends and statistics during the March primary throughout suburban Cook County. Below is a sample size of the standout primary numbers: • Voting before Election Day – by mail, or during early voting and grace period voting – accounted for 22 percent of all ballots cast in this election. • Early Voting set a new primary record with 113,641 ballots cast in a Presidential Primary. • More than 23,000 suburban Cook County voters took advantage of Election Day Registration. • Nearly 4,400 17-year-olds voted, accounting for 62 percent of the 7,085 who registered to vote. • Donald Trump won 25 of the 30 Suburban Cook County Townships, garnering his best total in Stickney Township, with 62.1 percent of the vote. • Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders were separated by just nine votes in Norwood Park Township (Clinton: 1,859; Sanders: 1,850).

  • 2020 Illinois General Election Results
    2020 Illinois General Election Results DISCLAIMER: All noted races below have not been certified by the Illinois State Board of Elections and are subject to change. With the massive upswing of mail-in-voting this year, it is HIGHLY likely that many races will not be final until all ballots are in. In Illinois, ballots that are post-marked for Election Day have 2 weeks from Election Day to arrive and be counted. As a result, many of the close races noted below could change and we have marked some races as too close to call. The University of Illinois System Office of Governmental Relations will keep you updated as the Illinois State Board of Elections updates these races. Note, the State board of Elections has listed December 4th as its date to certify the vote and publish official results. GRADUATED INCOME TAX AMENDMENT The constitutional amendment allowing the State of Illinois to implement a Graduated Income Tax failed at the ballot box with a vote of roughly 45% in favor and 55% opposed. The constitutional amendment needed a simple majority of all voters in the election to pass it or 60% of people who specifically voted on the amendment. The FY 21 budget negotiated on and passed in May was balanced, in part, on the projected revenues from the new graduated income tax. The consequences of this could be severe for higher education funding, as Gov.
