Please ask folks associated with the DPOE if they still stand by the endorsement of Samantha Steele for Cook County Board of Review.

For those who haven't seen this story, Steele got busted for a DUI last Sunday and was responsible for a car crash. Cops found her with an open bottle of wine in her car, she refused a sobriety test, and she made disparaging remarks to the cops.

DPOE endorsed her in 2022. (Original link: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=418564337130807&set=a.152749380378972 Archived link: https://archive.ph/Yx9HA

Jonah Meadows has a good piece on some other controversy she's been involved in: https://patch.com/illinois/evanston/drunken-cook-county-board-review-member-crashes-chicago-police

Christian Sorensen was #2 at the DPOE when they endorsed her in 2022.

I haven't seen any comment from Biss or Morita on the latest incident. In my estimation she should step down.
