Cook County Board of Review 1st district is a electoral district for the Cook County Board of Review.
The district was established in 1998, when what was formerly the at-large elected two member Cook County Board of Appeals was reconstituted as the three-member Cook County Board of Review, elected by districts.[1][2]
Geography
The district's current boundaries, redistricted in 2012 after the 2010 United States Census, have the district almost entirely in suburban Cook County, with only a small fragment of the district lying within the boundaries of the city of Chicago. It largely covers eastern Cook County, northern suburbs, as well the far southern end of Cook County.[3][4] In its previous redistricting, following the 2000 United States Census, it occupied a very similar geography.[5]
Politics
The district has primarily been represented by Republican commissioners over the years, but has twice elected Democratic commissioners.
Every election since 2006 has had a close result.
After its first redistricting, the district was seen as designed to lean Republican, as it covered a portion of Cook County largely without any ethnic minorities or areas with large populations of more liberal-leaning whites. Nevertheless, a Democrat won election to the district when it had this form.[6][7] Others characterized it as a "swing district".[8] The district's current boundaries still largely resemble that previous redistricting.
As of 2020, the district was considered to be relatively politically conservative.[9]
