In making the appointment, the Chicago Tribune reports Evans passed over several politically prominent candidates for the vacant seat, including retiring Ald. Eugene Schulter (47th) and former County Commissioner Joseph Mario Moreno (D-7th.)

Evans says he selected Cabonargi for his legal abilities and progressive political affiliations.

Cabonagri will serve out the remaining term of Joseph Berrios, who was elected Cook County Assessor in November.
