As of 2023 he is the vice mayor of Chicago.
Walter Burnett Jr. (born August 16, 1963) is an American politician who has served as the alderman for Chicago's 27th ward since his first election in 1995.
Walter Burnett, Jr. was born August 16, 1963, at Cook County Hospital in the Illinois Medical District.
Burnett served two years in jail for armed bank robbery in Kankakee.
Burnett had an 11-year career working for the Cook County government, where he had a variety of jobs including working as special assistant to Jesse White who was then Cook County Recorder of Deeds.
Burnett later worked on Jesse White's campaign for Illinois Secretary of State.
In 2023, Gregory Hinz of Crain's Chicago Business described Burnett as being a protege of White.
Despite a 1993 Illinois state law that barred those convicted of a felony from holding local office, in 1995 Burnett ran for alderman in the newly redistricted 27th ward.
Burnett defeated Dexter Watson, a protege of Rickey R. Hendon who had been appointed to succeed Hendon after Hendon's election to the Illinois Senate.
Williams-Burnett was appointed as a Cook County commissioner from the 1st district, being appointed after Danny K. Davis resigned in 1997 to serve in the United States Congress.
She was defeated in her campaign for a full term in 1998.
Burnett has subsequently been reelected in 1999, 2003, 2007, 2011, 2015, and 2019.
Williams-Burnett challenged incumbent 7th district U.S. congressman Danny K. Davis in the 2010 Democratic primary and lost.
Ahead of the 2011 Chicago mayoral election, Burnett was one of several black Chicago political figures involved in talks to have three black contenders choose a "consensus" black candidate to rally around.
These talks led Congressman Danny Davis and State Senator James Meeks to withdraw from the election and endorse the candidacy of Carol Moseley Braun, a former United States Senator and ambassador, as the "consensus" black candidate.
Alderman Burnett is married to Darlena Williams-Burnett.
In 2018, J. B. Pritzker appointed Burnett to the gubernatorial transition's Restorative Justice and Safe Communities Committee.
