The Associated Press has projected O'Neill Burke as the winner, based on the mail-in ballot count.

After a hard-fought campaign, Harris called O'Neill Burke to concede the primary race. His campaign manager also confirmed that they will not seek a recount, signaling a clear end to the election process.

O'Neill Burke's victory comes as no surprise, considering the mail-in votes received before the April 2 deadline. The number of expected mail-in votes was unlikely to be significant enough to overturn the results.

Looking ahead, O'Neill Burke will now face Republican candidate Bob Fioretti and libertarian candidate Andrew Kopinski in the general election, scheduled for November.

Expressing her gratitude and determination, O'Neill Burke stated, "It was worth the wait. I am so honored to be the Democratic nominee for Cook County State's Attorney." She further extended her congratulations to Harris on running a tough campaign. O'Neill Burke emphasized the unity shared between them, highlighting the importance of a fair criminal justice system and safer communities.

Her focus on addressing illegal firearms and assault weapons resonated with voters across Cook County. O'Neill Burke pledged to work tirelessly as the State's Attorney, upholding the law and representing victims with humility and dedication.

Reflecting on his campaign, Harris acknowledged falling short of his goal and congratulated O'Neill Burke on her victory. He expressed pride in the broad and diverse grassroots coalition they had built, with a shared vision of a criminal justice system that prioritizes safety and justice for all residents.

Harris affirmed his commitment to continue advocating for criminal justice reform and thanked the residents of Cook County for their support.

The general election in November will witness a three-way race between O'Neill Burke, Fioretti, and Kopinski, with voters deciding who will ultimately hold the position of Cook County state's attorney.

As the primary season comes to an end, the focus now shifts towards the general election, where candidates will continue to engage with voters and present their visions for a safer and stronger Cook County.
