NOT HAVE FOR TODAY.

ALL THAT SPOTLIGHT FOR TONIGHT.

GUYS, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

SO AS WE HEARD EARLIER, THOUGH, THE RACE FOR COOK COUNTY STATE'S ATTORNEY HAS YET TO BE CALLED EILEEN O'NEILL.

BERG HAS A LEAD OVER CLAYTON HARRIS.

THE 3RD EARLIER TONIGHT AT THE STAGE OR CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERS.

HERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF THAT SPEECH.

>> THANK YOU FOR COMING TONIGHT.

AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR FACE AND MAKE WE WILL BE PATIENT AND WE WILL LET THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS PLAY OUT.

AND WE WILL BUILD A SAFER MORE JUST COOK COUNTY TOGETHER.

>> ALL RIGHT.

NOW WE CHECK BACK IN WITH REPORTER NICK BLUMBERG WHO IS LIVE AT THE HEADQUARTERS OF DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR COOK COUNTY STATE'S ATTORNEY EILEEN O'NEILL BURKE.

NICK.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

GRANT, AS WE JUST HEARD IN THAT SPEECH, EILEEN O'NEILL BURKE SAYING WE'RE GOING TO LET THIS PROCESS PLAY OUT NOTHING IS BEING DECLARED OR CONCEDE TONIGHT, BUT THAT THEY ARE CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC.

WE'RE HERE WITH ONE OF HER CAMPAIGN SUPPORTERS, ILLINOIS COMPTROLLER SUSANA MENDOZA.

THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US.

ARE YOU THE CANDIDATES SENSE OF CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM OUT FOR SURE?

I MEAN, I THINK THIS IS BEEN A GREAT NIGHT.

>> I THINK SHE DID AN INCREDIBLE JOB GIVING HER SPEECH AND IS A COMPLETE CLASS ACT, WHICH IS RIGHT.

YOU KNOW WHY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ENAMORED BY HER CANDIDACY.

AND I THINK EILEEN, AS PETS OUT THE THAT AND HOW LAND AND THAT CAME TOGETHER AND PUT TOGETHER THE IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR STATE ATTORNEY.

IT WOULD BE I OVER SUMMIT OF THE UNICORN.

AND IT'S VERY RARE THAT CHICAGOANS IN COOK COUNTY RESIDENTS WILL GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE FOR REALLY THE ONE PERSON MY ENTIRE LIFETIME.

THAT HAS BEEN MOST QUALIFIED AND READY TO STEP IN AND LEAD AND A PROSECUTOR, DEFENSE ATTORNEY TRIAL APPELLATE JUDGE AND THEN SOMEONE WHO IS SO SELFLESS THAT SHE STEPS AWAY FROM A SURE TO TAKE A WAS AND FRANKLY, YOU LONG SHOT OF AN OPPORTUNITY.

HACKING, NOT RESPECT THAT.

AND I HOPE WHEN ALL OF THESE VOTES IN VERY LAST VOTE IS COUNTED, THAT VOTERS REWARD FOR HER.

>> DETERMINATION AND LEADING CHICAGO COOK COUNTY DO A BETTER IN TERMS OF HER MESSAGING FOR HOW SHE VIEWS THIS JOB THAT DIRECTION THAT SHE WANTS TO TAKE THE OFFICE.

AND AFTER 2 TERMS WITH STATE'S ATTORNEY KIM FOXX, WHAT DO YOU THINK THE DIFFERENCE MAKER WAS THERE ASSUMING HER LEAD IN THE BOAT'S HULL GO?

I THINK THAT PEOPLE ARE FED THEY'RE FED UP WITH AND CITY IN A COUNTY THAT DOESN'T FEEL SAFE.

AND IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN A VICTIM OF CRIME AND THERE'S MASSIVE HIT, I'M DISAPPOINTED IN HIM THINKING THAT YOUR STATE ATTORNEY WHO'S SUPPOSED TO BE FIRST AND FOREMOST, I THINK TIM'S ADVOCATE, IT'S NOT AND SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVE THE STATE ATTORNEY WHO CAN BALANCE IT CAN BALANCE TO CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORMS THAT ARE NECESSARY OUR SYSTEM.

THEY CAN ALSO BE HE JUST AND BE THERE, RIGHT?

YOU CAN DO ALL OF THESE BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY BRING SAFETY AND THE SENSE AND SEMBLANCE OF BACK OUR COMMUNITIES AND HAVE WON.

WITHOUT THAT THAT'S BEEN WE'VE GOT ABOUT 30 SECONDS LEFT.

ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE HEARD IN THIS RACE FROM EILEEN O'NEILL, BURKE THAT DON'T NECESSARILY OFTEN HERE IN THE STATES ATTORNEYS RACE WAS THE IDEA OF REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS OF FORMING A CHOICE.

YOU YOU THINK THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOMETHING BRIEFLY THAT THAT HELP BREAK THROUGH TO VOTERS?

I THINK IT'S CERTAINLY IMPORTANT TO MOST WOMEN WRITE AND AND I DO THINK REPRODUCTIVE RATE THAT WE HAVE TAKEN FOR GRANTED, THINGS THAT WE THOUGHT COULD NEVER HAPPEN.

LIKE ROE V WADE BEING OVERTURNED.

>> HAD HAPPENED AND IT HAPPENED AND ARE WATCHING FACT THAT SOME OF OUR GRANDMOTHERS HAD MORE RIGHTS WOMEN REPRODUCTIVE AGE.

HAVE TODAY.

AND THAT'S KIND OF CRAZY.

BUT IT IS A REALITY IN SO.

>> DON'T EVER THINK THAT THOSE RIGHTS THAT WE TAKE FOR GRANTED.

CAN NEVER BE TAKEN AWAY BECAUSE THEY CAN.

AND I THINK THAT WHAT SHE'S SAYING IS SHE RECOGNIZES THAT AND WOMEN ARE SAYING THAT THAT'S IMPORTANT WELL.

>> ALL RIGHT, I CONTROL THE THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE
