Angeles Sandoval announces bid for 7th Dist. Cook County seat

CHICAGO, IL — Surrounded by community leaders from the Southwest Side of Chicago, Democrat Angeles “Angie” Sandoval, formally announced her bid to become the next Cook County Commissioner of the 7th District. She will become the newest and only “Latina” on the Cook County Board. Angie’s multiple leadership roles in the non-profit and corporate sectors, coupled by her passion as a community leader will give her a unique perspective to bring fiscal discipline to Cook County’s $5 billion budget. She will promote strategies that will end the bloated and wasteful culture of regressive taxes and spending and advocate greater economic security.

“2018 will not only be the ‘Year of the Woman’! I will usher in a new generation of government stewardship. They raise the tax on sweetened beverages, plastic shopping bags, garbage pickup, property and income; and every level of government in Illinois acts as if we [the taxpayers] can just pay more and more to cover up for their lack of fiscal discipline,” Sandoval said to a cheering crowd. “Families understand that women make the tough choices to bring financial stability and I’m going to bring that to the Cook County Board.”

Angie will advocate for policy strategies to improve the efficiency, accountability, and transparency of government as well as make significant contributions towards gender equality, public health and safety, and property tax relief.

“Angie will usher in a fresh and balanced perspective of fiscal policy, while being a progressive voice for Latina health and public safety issues,” said Bridget Gainer, Cook County Commissioner of the 10th District.

Angie currently works as a corporate business analyst in the Governmental and External Affairs office for Commonwealth Edison (ComEd). She has earned her Master’s degree in Public Policy and Administration from National Louis University, and a Bachelor of Science with a double major in Political Science and Gender and Women’s Studies from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Angie has a proven track record in building community. She focuses her efforts on empowering women and children, especially those of first and second-generation immigrant families. Her commitment to quality education and career opportunities for men and women has led her to serve as Vice-Chair of the National Latino Education Institute’s Emerging Leaders Board, President of the Senka Park Advisory Council in Gage Park, and on the advisory board of the Latino Youth High School in Little Village.

“Angie represents a new generation of leadership on the Southwest Side of Chicago. She is one of our very own that know what’s important to immigrant and working families,” remarked Alderman Edward M. Burke.

The 7th District of the Cook County Board is located on Chicago’s Southwest Side, and is comprised primarily of the Chicago neighborhoods of Bridgeport, McKinley Park, Brighton Park, Back of the Yards, West Lawn, Little Village, and Pilsen. The Democratic Primary will be held on March 20, 2018.

Angeles “Angie” Sandoval anuncia candidatura para La Junta de Comisionados del Condado Cook por el 7o Distrito

CHICAGO, IL — Rodeada de líderes comunitarios del Suroeste de Chicago, la Demócrata Angeles “Angie” Sandoval anunció su candidatura para la Junta de Comisionados del Condado Cook por el 7o Distrito. De ser electa, será la más nueva, joven y única Latina en esa junta.

Angie Sandoval ha tenido muchos cargos importantes en los sectores sin fines de lucro y empresariales que, junto a su pasión como líder comunitaria, le brinda una visión clara para impulsar nuevos métodos y lograr una disciplina fiscal en el presupuesto del Condado de Cook, que alcanza los $5 mil millones de dólares. Su plan es promover estrategias que pondrán fin a la perniciosa cultura de desperdicio, de impuestos retrogradas y de gastos innecesarios e impulsar a la vez seguridad económica para la entidad y para los residentes condales.

“El 2018 no solamente será el ‘Año de la Mujer’! Sino que traerá una nueva generación de líderes en las administraciones gubernamentales. Ellos aprueban impuestos a las bebidas azucaradas, a las bolsas de compras, a la recolección de basura, las propiedades y a las entradas personales. Cada nivel de gobierno actúa como si nosotros [los contribuyentes] pudiésemos fácilmente costear su falta de disciplina fiscal,” declaró la candidata ante los aplausos de la multitud presente. “Las familias entienden que somos las mujeres las que tomamos las decisiones más difíciles para imponer estabilidad económica y eso es lo que planeo traer a la Junta del Condado.”

Angie abogará por estrategias políticas que transformen la eficiencia, la responsabilidad y la transparencia gubernamental. Hará también las contribuciones necesarias para implementar la igualdad de géneros, para mejorar la seguridad, la salud pública y para promover los alivios tributarios.

Bridget Gainer, Comisionada del Distrito 10 de la Junta Condal dijo por su parte que, “Angie traerá una nueva y más balanceada perspectiva a las políticas fiscales, a la vez que se convertirá en una portavoz progresiva de los temas de salud y seguridad pública para las Latinas.”

Angie trabaja al momento como analista de negocios corporativos en la oficina de asuntos gubernamentales y externos de ComEd. Obtuvo una Maestría en Administración y Política Pública de la universidad National Louis University y un grado de Bachiller con doble especialización en Ciencias Políticas y Estudios de Género y Mujer de la Universidad de Illinois en Chicago.

Ha enfocado sus esfuerzos dentro de la comunidad facilitando poder y ventajas a las mujeres y a los niños, en particular a los de primera y segunda generaciones provenientes de familias inmigrantes. Su compromiso con la educación y las oportunidades para hombres y mujeres por igual, le ha llevado a servir como Vice-presidenta del “National Latino Education Institute’s Emerging Leaders Board”, Presidenta del “Senka Park Advisory Council” en Gage Park, y como miembro de la junta de “Latino Youth High School” de La Villita.

“Angie representa una nueva generación de líderes del Suroeste de Chicago. Es una de las nuestras, sabe lo que es importante para los inmigrantes y para las familias trabajadoras,” dijo el Concejal Edward M. Burke.

El 7th Distrito del Condado de Cook se ubica en el Suroeste de Chicago e incluye los barrios Bridgeport, McKinley Park, Brighton Park, Las Empacadoras, West Lawn, La Villita y Pilsen. Las primarias demócratas serán el 20 de marzo del 2018.
