The
Chicago Defender reports that Peraica took his bid "straight to the doorstep" of Todd Stroger yesterday:
Cook
County Board Commissioner Tony Peraica (R-Westchester) took his bid to
become the next county president straight to the doorstep of Democratic
opponent Ald. Todd Stroger (8th) on Wednesday.
In front of Stroger's South Side aldermanic office where the largeposter of his father, recently retired board president John H. Stroger,
remains proudly displayed, Peraica challenged his competitor to join
him in a "clean campaign pledge" by no longer accepting campaign
donations from county employees and vendors.
Ald. Stroger was not available for comment and not present when Peraica made his announcement.
