Someone unfamiliar with Cook County politics might get a little confused if they stumbled across Republican County Commissioner Tony Peraica's campaign website. That's because the header at JoinPeraica.com simply features Tony's name atop the title "State's Attorney." To the right side of the web page it gets more specific, reading "Cook County State's Attorney" in big, bold letters.
The problem is that Peraica doesn't own that title; rather, he's in a race against Democrat Anita Alvarez for the position. Alvarez, by the way, is currently chief deputy State's Attorney (for real).
The heading of Alvarez's campaign site could be instructive here. It reads "Anita Alvarez for State's Attorney." It'd be helpful if Tony could do the same and throw the word "for" or "elect" or even "vote" somewhere near the title he is aspiring to.
I mean, why bother running if he can just declare himself State's Attorney to begin with?
