Two of the three slated countywide Latinas are likely winners

Laura Ayala-Gonzalez is well ahead, in both the City and suburbs, over U. O'Neal and former Judge John O'Meara in the race for the countywide Ford vacancy.

Teresa Molina is well ahead of Michael O'Malley in both the City and suburbs in the race for the countywide McCarthy vacancy.

But the third Latina slated by the Cook County Democratic Party, Araceli Reyes De La Cruz, appears to be running well behind Lorraine Mary Murphy for the countywide Roti vacancy. De La Cruz has a narrow edge in the City, but Murphy holds a commanding lead in suburban returns.
