Candidates make closing arguments in closely-watched Cook County State's Attorney, 7th District races

In the race for the 7th Congressional District, incumbent U.S. Rep. Danny Davis leveled a strong attack against his opponents, but those listening were not all supportive.In the race for Cook County State's Attorney, the big question was - do voters want to turn the page from outgoing State's Attorney Kim Foxx?

Cook County State's Attorney candidate Eileen O'Neill Burke, a retired justice and former prosecutor, spent part of her day greeting paradegoers at Chicago's Northwest Side Irish Parade. Also vying for the job is Clayton Harris, who once worked as a prosecutor in the State's Attorney's Office. Harris received prayers as he stopped by MacArthur's on Chicago's West Side on Sunday.

"I've said before, there are things that are being done that are nationally replicated, but I'm coming in, I'm a new administrator, and I have some other policies that I want to put in," Harris explained. With early voting already underway, U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley, D-Chicago, shared a warning to those who don't participate.Sunday was especially lively in the 7th Congressional District, where longtime Rep. Danny Davis is in a tight race. However, Davis' closing argument received lukewarm support.
