The Vision Transparency, Ethics, Efficiency.

When I first ran for Clerk in 1990, it was not because it was a glamorous office, but because it was an opportunity to demonstrate what good government could look like at a time when Chicago and Cook County were synonymous with machine politics and patronage. It was a “reformer’s dream,” as I referred to it then.David Orr
