The Illinois Green Party’s 2022 slate for the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District will be on the ballot in the November 2022 General Election after no challenges to their signatures were submitted. Green candidates for the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, Toneal Jackson and Mark Buettner, filed their petitions to get on the ballot for the 2022 General Election on Monday, March 14, 2022. The MWRD, which occupies most of Cook County, plus a few townships outside of Cook County, is the Illinois Green Party’s only recognized district. So while most Green candidates around the state begin petitioning in April, MWRD candidates began collecting signatures in January, at the same time as Democrats and Republicans and other third parties with recognized districts.
Jackson, an award-winning author, publisher, podcaster, and organizer, and Buettner, a former MWRD treatment plant operator, hope to bring new ideas for a green future for the MWRD to the board.
“Commissioner Kimberly du Buclet called the MWRD, ‘The most important agency that no one knows about.’ My hope is that my Educated AND EMPOWERED campaign will be the solution to that problem. My plan is to not only ignite more Cook County residents to vote in November, but also inspire them to take continual actions towards a cleaner, greener lifestyle,” said Jackson.
Cook County’s Metropolitan Water Reclamation District is one of the largest waste treatment and flood prevention agencies in the world. Overseen by an elected Board of Commissioners, this taxpayer-funded agency is also one of Cook County’s largest governmental bodies, with over 2,000 employees and an annual operating budget of well over a billion dollars.
The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, or MWRD, is responsible for:
- Flood prevention and abatement in Cook County
- Wastewater and sewage treatment for most of Cook County (a handful of suburban municipalities have their own sewer authority)
- Water quality testing in the Chicago Area Waterway System, which covers 76 miles of navigable waterways all across Cook County
For more than 20 years, all Commissioners elected to the Board have been Democrats. The Green Party is running a slate of three candidates in 2020 on a unified platform that prioritizes flood-preventing infrastructure and governmental reforms to end the entrenched culture of pay-to-play, cronyism, and nepotism.
Vote Green Party candidates for clean water, clean soil, and clean government!
