Elizabeth "Liz" Nicholson
Board of Review, 2nd District, on the Chicago ballot November 3, 2026. Party: Democratic.
Running on
Nicholson says every property owner or renter deserves a property tax system that is fair, transparent, and predictable, and that every taxpayer appealing an assessment should get a fair chance to reduce their bill. Her stated priorities are making appeals more accessible to working families and small businesses rather than those who hire connected attorneys, modernizing the process with clearer online tools and multilingual support, publishing more appeals data to identify systemic inequities, community outreach through neighborhood groups, schools, and libraries, and stricter ethics rules to limit the influence of property tax lawyers and special interests.
Background
Nicholson was a longtime campaign adviser to former Illinois Senate President John Cullerton and held state posts including top aide to Secretary of State Jesse White, deputy director of the Illinois Department of Employment Security, and chief operating officer of Central Management Services.
