Mike Kreloff's career has been remarkable. He was the prototype “Lakefront Liberal” on the North Side’s Rogers Park back in the 1960’s and 70’s. Then, after helping to create a real liberal movement in Chicago – working to elect David Orr for Alderman and then Cook County Clerk along the way – he moved to suburban Northfield Township, where he became Democratic Committeeman. And then again, he started a liberal movement – except it was called “progressive” this time. Helping to turn Chicago’s north suburbs from red to blue.
