Edwin Reyes was the Cook County Commissioner for the County’s 8th District, in northwest Chicago. He held the position as a Democrat from 2010–2014.

Education

Reyes attended Northern Illinois University in the early 1980s, after which he enlisted in the United States Air Force from 1983-1986 on active duty and eventually earned his bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts from Northeastern Illinois University in 1996.[1]

Political career

Reyes served as Chief of Staff for Chicago Alderman Rey Colón from 2003–2004. From 2006–2009, Reyes served as a state trooper on the security detail for governor Rod Blagojevich.[2]

County Commission

One of Reyes' first official votes as commissioner was to override John Stroger's veto of a sales tax cut in 2009.[3] During the 2010 election, Reyes listed his top three priorities as healthcare access, violence prevention, and educational resources.[4] The Chicago Tribune declined to endorse him that year, reporting that "Reyes answers to the men who sent him, Democratic bosses Dick Mell and Joseph Berrios."[5]

In 2013, Reyes supported a $25 tax on gun sales proposed by Toni Preckwinkle.[6] Reyes chaired the committees on veterans and law enforcement.[1]
