John's hard work and dedication has earned him the support and recognition of several organizations and media outlets. Here are just some of them:
| Endorsements |
| The endorsements that John has received include: |
“John is ideally-suited to not just carry on, but build upon, the work Mike and I have done on the County Board. When it comes to fighting for taxpayers and cleaning up Cook County, John Fritchey is the clear choice to become the next Commissioner for the 12th District.” (2009)
“The times demand and the voters deserve elected officials who will challenge the status quo and fight for taxpayers. There is no person at this time and place who is better suited to move forward that mission than my friend, John Fritchey. John will be a terrific addition to the Board and a fitting successor to Forrest Claypool.” (2009)
"A sophisticated, centrist legislator who has an impressive understanding of his district. The Democrat stands his ground on issues and isn't afraid to buck leadership." (2006)
"If all Democratic candidates were as competent as North Side Democrat Rep. John Fritchey, endorsements would be a slam dunk. Fritchey is an activist in his community, weighing in on a diverse range of issues... there is no question he wins our support." (2006)
"For his dogged determination to hold the line on property taxes and the CTA's feet to the fire during the Brown Lin debacle, voters should re-elect State Rep. John Fritchey... one of our most substantive legislators... also one of our most accessible." (2006)
