Chicago has often been named the “most corrupt city” in America. As your next State’s Attorney, Christopher will responsibly, fairly and thoroughly investigate all corruption, big or small, and prosecute it to the furthest extent of the law. 

Chicago has also been named “the murder capital of the nation”. Cook County suffers from out-of-control gun violence that is widespread from the inner cities to the suburbs and beyond. Christopher will focus on prosecuting violent and repeat offenders to curb the gun violence and make our communities safer.

430,000 people have died of opioid drug overdoses in the U.S. since 2000. With the public's help, Christopher will take swift action against the major perpetrators responsible for pumping these deadly drugs like heroin & fentanyl into our streets & neighborhoods.

Ex-­offenders deserve a second chance. Responsible for writing the “Expungement Guide” that is used in Cook County today, Christopher advocates for granting non-violent offenders a fresh start, a chance to clear their records and become productive citizens for their families and society.

Christopher has the experience to rebuild the bonds of trust to restore confidence and to 'bridge the gap' between police and residents. As State’s Attorney, he will send the 700+ prosecutors, under his direction, out to regularly meet with community leaders to rebuild strong ties and work towards breaking the code of silence.
