Dear Neighbor,

My name is Jessica Vasquez, and I am honored to serve as your new 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

I can’t wait to meet you, hear your concerns, and get to work for our communities. Please reach out to my staff and me with any questions or concerns. Our office is located at 2934 N. Milwaukee Unit C, Chicago, IL 60618, and our office is open Monday - Friday, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm. You can also reach us via phone at 312-603-6386 and via email at district8@cookcountyil.gov.
