Yolanda Harris Sayre, the Cook County Deocratic Party's slated candidate for the countywide Ingram vacancy, now has a campaign website. That's a link to the campaign website in the preceding sentence; a link has also been added to the candidate list on this site's Sidebar.
Currently employed as legal counsel for the Illinois State Police, according to her campaign website, Sayre has been licensed to practice law in Illinois since 1995, according to ARDC.
Sayre worked the Texas Attorney General’s office while still in law school, according to her campaign biography. After graduating from the University of Texas Law School, she was "selected by the Chicago Police Department as an original civilian trainer of Community Policing and Diversity Management."
According to her campaign bio, Sayre was promoted to the position of Attorney in 1999, "becoming the first African American to serve in that position at CPD."
Sayre also served for 10 years as an Administrative Law Judge, presiding at hearings for the Chicago and Cook County Electoral Boards. She also served two years as a contract prosecutor, representing the Illinois Secretary of State in more than 100 formal administrative hearings, according to her campaign bio.
A member of the Executive Board member of the Illinois Association of Administrative Law Judges, Sayre is also a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and, according to her campaign bio, has coordinated many community service initiatives including projects in several villages in Africa.
Sayre was the fifth alternate chosen by the Cook County Democratic Party in the 2020 election cycle.
She got smoked in tonight’s election. Perhaps your character defects prevented you from seeing her as she is: shrill for the party! Stick that down your throat counsel!
