State Rep. Margaret Croke, D-Chicago, is set to become the next
Illinois comptroller.
“Margaret Croke is an extraordinary public servant, and she will
be an excellent state comptroller. She understands that
responsible fiscal stewardship matters for all Illinoisans, and
she will fight every day to do right by working families,”
Pritzker said in a congratulatory statement released on Tuesday
night.
With her projected win over Republican Bryan Drew, Croke will
replace current Comptroller Susana Mendoza, D-Chicago, who
decided not to seek reelection and is instead running for mayor
of Chicago in February 2027.
Attorney General Kwame Raoul had a massive lead on Tuesday night
over Republican challenger Bob Fioretti.
Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias also held a seemingly
insurmountable lead over Republican Diane Harris.
State Treasurer Michael Frerichs declared victory before 9 p.m.
in his campaign against Republican Max Solomon.
