Dean Berglund District 4 Candidate

Dean Berglund is running for the Cook County commissioner seat in District 4. Born and raised in Cook County, Dean has been a business owner for more than 40 years. This is the second time Dean has run for this seat on the county board. He was defeated in 2020 by incumbent Ann Sullivan. The vote total was 476-407, in favor of Sullivan. In 2024, Dean says two local issues that made him want to run for county commissioner include housing and government spending. Steve Fernlund spoke with Dean for this installment of the podcast.
