Julie's family roots instilled the importance of giving back and building up my community. Her mother is a Caribbean immigrant who worked tirelessly to ensure a better life for her children. Her grandfather was a Jewish WWII veteran who enlisted at age 17 and taught me the importance of fighting to repair the world.
For the past decade, Julie worked in public safety, health, and social services policy. She was named a 2022 Jewish United Fund Chicago 36 Under 36 for her career catalyzing progressive reform. Most recently, as Chief of Staff to Cook County Commissioner Scott Britton, she expanded ballot language access, wrote the first suburban Cook County renters’ rights legislation, and led the County’s adoption of the Illinois NAACP and Association of Police Chiefs "10 Shared Principles."
- Everyone deserves to feel and be safe in their communities, and to be treated with equal dignity and respect.
- It is essential that we shine a light on our public safety system to ensure it is working as intended.
- We must support alternatives for immediate community safety and long-term investments in addressing root causes of crime.
For the past decade, I have worked in government and nonprofits to make social justice more of a reality for all communities. I worked on: the launch of Obamacare to expand access to health insurance while working for Governor Deval Patrick; creating renters' rights and protections for the first time in suburban Cook; expanding the number of languages a County ballot is translated into so people can access their democratic rights, and using the bully pulpit of government to fight against systemic racism through the newly launched Cook County United Against Hate.
