My name is Jessica Vásquez, and I am honored to serve as your Cook County Commissioner for the 8th District. As a lifelong resident of Chicago’s northwest side, I am deeply connected to this community. I was born and raised in Belmont Cragin, and I have lived throughout the 8th District my entire life. It is a profound privilege to now represent the very district that raised me.

My staff and I are here to help – we can assist 8th District residents with:

• Property Tax Appeals and Exemptions

• Forest Preserves Events and Permits

• Senior Services

• Nature Bus Applications

• Free Museum pass

• Applying for County grants and programs

• CountyCare Health Plan Redetermination

• Veterans Affairs

• Public Defender Legal Assistance

• Cook County Jail Detainee Support
