Houlihan. This election was to a four-year term. Primaries Democratic No candidates, ballot-certified or formal write-in, ran in the Democratic primary. Incumbent Republican Maureen Murphy successfully challenged the nomination petitions of the only Democrat running, Brendan Houlihan, meaning that he was removed from the Democratic primary ballot. However, since, consequentially no candidate appeared on the ballot in the Democratic primary, state law enabled the Democratic committeemen from the Board of Review's 1st district to pick a nominee. They ultimately selected Houlihan as their nominee.Joravsky Ben Welcome to the club, Commissioner Houlihan https://www.chicagoreader.com/Bleader/archives/2007/06/29/welcome-to-the-club-commissioner-houlihan Chicago Reader 20 November 2020 en 29 June 2007 Republican Cook County Board of Review 1st district Republican primary Republican Party (United States) Maureen Murphy (incumbent) 76,100 100 76,100 100 General election Cook County Board of Review 1st district election Democratic Party (United States) Brendan F.
