An assistant in the Cook County state’s attorney’s office, Cassidy said, “For 20 years in Chicago, I’ve worked in not-for-profit and government,” (gov't worker and lobbyist)

Commentary.
Cassidy, not an “outsider.” She's clearly more of the same.
“I intend to serve the district as long as I can, or until a job with more power comes along.”
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Illinois Politics: appointing the same hacks over and over again.
Carol Ronen had over 50% of the vote on this. And surprise surprise, she again chose a machine hack. Sad part is there were two great potential candidates -- Paula Basta and Jen Wren. Both of whom brought strong, unique credentials to the district. But what a surprise, Ronen went with the hack....just another decision voters will have to correct next time around.
