Toni Preckwinkle to form exploratory committee for mayor's race

Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle will announce plans to form an exploratory committee for a run for mayor in the coming days, a representative for Preckwinkle said on Friday.

The announcement won't be a definite yes or no about her stepping into the race, the representative said. She joins a growing list of people considering running.

Preckwinkle considered a run in 2014 but dropped out, because of a "commitment to reform" within the county.
