Fritchey's new website touts endorsements from Cong. Chuy Garcia; Cook County Commissioner Bill Lowry (3rd); Alderpersons Walter Burnett, Brendan Reilly, Harry Osterman; St. Rep. Kam Buckner; and former Ald. Ameya Pawar.
According to ARDC, Fritchey has been licensed to practice law in Illinois since 1989. ARDC says that Fritchey now works for F4 Consulting Ltd. His LinkedIn profile says that Fritchey serves as Government Relations Director for that firm.
Fritchey is a former Commissioner of the Cook County Board (2010-2018). Before that, from 1996, Fritchey served as a member of the Illinois House. Fritchey did apply for associate judge in 2021.
Fritchey's campaign website emphasizes his accomplishments, or at least his priorities, as a legislator. While several topics are covered (equality, mental health, abortion rights), just by way of example, the site contains this statement (emphasis in original):
Shootings. Carjackings. Robberies. Across Chicago, crime is out of control. John has spent his career fighting to make our neighborhoods safer including passing legislation creating stiffer penalties for gun crimes.
John's efforts to keep us safe led to the Illinois State Crime Commission naming him Democratic Leader of the Year.
As a Cook County Commissioner, John introduced legislation, supported by the University of Chicago Crime Lab, to create a Gun Court that would make it faster to handle gun offenses and would keep repeat offenders from quickly getting back out on our streets.
