Biography
Edward Robert Vrdolyak (; born December 28, 1937), also known as "Fast Eddie", is a former American politician and lawyer. He was a longtime Chicago alderman and the head of the Cook County Democratic Party until 1987 when he ran unsuccessfully for Mayor of Chicago on the Illinois Solidarity Party ticket. He subsequently ran again in 1989 on the Republican Party ticket. He was a prominent opponent of Harold Washington and the de facto leader of the so-called "Vrdolyak 29" that opposed and blocked many of Washington's measures. After his electoral career ended, he resumed his law practice at The Vrdolyak Law Group. He surrendered his law license in 2009 after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud. The firm consists of 20 attorneys. Vrdolyak's three sons are partners in the firm.
