Cook County Assessor Fritz Kaegi conceded defeat to Pat Hynes Tuesday evening, with Hynes leading with 52.5 percent of the votes to Kaegi’s 47.5 percent in the Democratic primary contest. “The work ahead is about fairness and justice for those who have been harmed over the last eight years,” Hynes said to his crowd of supporters. “It is about ensuring assessments are accurate, transparent and equitable in every neighborhood.” Hynes will face Libertarian candidate Nico Tsatsoulis in the November 3rd general election.
