General election

Corruption allegations took a toll on incumbent Republican James E. O'Grady's prospects for reelection. ^[9] O'Grady ultimately had failed to live up to his 1986 campaign promises of disposing of politics and corruption in the Cook County Sheriff's Office, and had become unpopular among his constituents. ^[10]

Democratic nominee Michael F. Sheahan defeated O'Grady by a broad margin. ^[10] O'Grady suffered one of biggest defeats that a Republican Party nominee had experienced in a countywide Cook County election in years. ^[10] Sheahan had managed to beat O'Grady in 24 of the county's 30 suburban townships and in every ward of Chicago. ^[11] Sheahan had even managed to carry many of the county's Republican strongholds. ^[11] Within the city of Chicago, O'Grady even trailed Harold Washington Party nominee Tommy Brewer, who was considered a political unknown. ^[11]

Primaries

Democratic

Richard Phelan, a millionaire attorney from Winnetka, won the Democratic primary. ^[7] He had entered the race as a political unknown. ^[7] Phelan did not have a strong political organization, but ran an multimillion-dollar campaign with heavy investment in television advertising. ^[7] He defeated former Illinois Appellate judge R. Eugene Pincham, Cook County clerk Stanley Kusper, and state senator Ted Lechowicz. ^[7] Phelan ran on a message of change, running against the county Democratic Party establishment. ^[7]

Originally, Kusper had been the race's frontrunner, but by election day, had been relegated to an also-ran. ^[7] Lechowicz had been endorsed by the Cook County Democratic Party. ^[15]

By winning a suburban seat, Democrats increased their majority by a single seat. ^[17]
