Thank you to all that made it out to Gallery Cabaret this past weekend for our fundraiser! As an independent campaign that rejects corporate pac money and rejects pay-to-play politics, community support makes all the difference. Didn't make it? There's still time to donate!

Yesterday we officially hit our goal of 1,500 signatures, but we're not done yet! We have 4 more weeks of petition collecting, and we're going to keep knocking doors all the way until the election in February. We hope to see you at one of our upcoming events!

I've talked to residents who say they feel in the dark about the Cortland Bridge construction. Some have said they reach out to neighboring alders' offices so they're not caught off guard by updates. All would benefit from monthly ward nights and community meetings here to listen to their concerns.

Cortland Bridge Will Remain Closed For Years, Vexing Neighbors After New Problems Found

The bridge closed to cars last fall for a rehab project slated for completion in 2027. Now, the city says it doesn't know when it will reopen as residents and alderpeople demand answers.

Has the refugee crisis + Operation Midway Blitz triggered a bizarro political realignment in Chicago? I feel like we're seeing this split more and more often (Progressive North Side + Latino caucus vs. centrist white + Black caucus).

You can’t solve a housing shortage by saying “no” to housing. We need to build more homes, protect renters, and make sure the 32nd Ward is a place where people can afford to put down roots and families can grow. My thoughts on housing and affordability: www.patrickfor32.com/news-updates...

It was important to me to support candidates independent of corps like DraftKings, that fight for housing and families; principled progressives not relying on lies to win. Miguel Rivera, Liz Granato, and Nick Uniejewski were the clear candidates in their races by that criteria. Please vote for them!

This eyeroll of an endorsement aside, has anything Waguespack's done in the last decade scream "Progressive Leader"?

Alderman Scott
Waguespack Endorses Brendan Reilly for Cook County Board President
Progressive Leader Cites Reilly's
Commitment to Transparency & Reform
CHICAGO, IL - Alderman Scott Waguespack, a progressive leader known for his record of fighting for government transparency and accountability, is endorsing Brendan Reilly for Cook County Board President in the upcoming Democratic Primary election. Reilly and Waguespack have served together on the Chicago City Council since they were both first elected in 2007, and they have collaborated on numerous pieces of legislation including major transparency initiatives, consumer protections, and most recently leading the fight against Mayor Brandon Johnson's budget proposal that would have devastated the local economy.
Now, Alderman Waguespack is supporting Alderman Reilly's campaign to bring much-needed change to Cook County government.
