Ultimately Circuit Court Chief Judge Tim Evans will make the decision on who to appoint to the post. Berrios, however, is also the Cook County Democratic Chairman, will likely have a say in the decision. Schulter's support for former County Commissioner Forrest Claypool in his race against Berrios for the seat of County Tax Assessor could factor into who Berrios decides to support.
Schulter's right-hand man, Tom O’Donnell, a former president of the 47th Ward Democratic Party, will appear on the ballot, having circulated petitions. O'Donnell will face challengers Ameya Pawar and Matt Reichel in the Feb. 22 municipal election.
