Who is Elyse Hoffenberg’s husband Jeff? Illinois lawmaker’s kiss video with Bridgeview Mayor Steven Landek goes viral
Elyse Hoffenberg, a candidate for Cook County commissioner, faces backlash after a video of her kissing Bridgeview Mayor Steven Landek went viral.
Illinois lawyer Jeff Hoffenberg, husband of Lyons Township Clerk Elyse Hoffenberg, has come under scrutiny after a viral video of him kissing Bridgeview Mayor Steven Landek surfaced online. Jeff Hoffenberg, a managing partner at Chicago-based law firm Levenfeld Pearlstein, has a strong background in commercial real estate law. The office footage, recorded on July 13, shows Hoffenberg and Landek engaging in a brief, friendly conversation before Landek kisses her.
The couple are both involved in Lyons Township Democratic politics, with Elyse Hoffenberg running for the Cook County Board's 17th District. The incident has sparked controversy, as Hoffenberg claims the kiss was inappropriate and unprofessional, while Landek apologized afterward. The mayor, a former Illinois state senator, has maintained a relatively low public profile compared to his wife's growing political career.
