He's doing something very right!"

What a day! Home from City Council and I stopped on my front porch and recorded this personal message of gratitude—to all those who served with us, our volunteers, our staff—and even my opponents in the race: my humble thanks. I am taking to heart all that we learned and the issues we engaged in. For those who trusted and backed me, but even for those who placed their vote elsewhere: I commit myself for the next four years to earn your support and I will continue working for a transparent and equitable government for the 1st Ward and for the City of Chicago. #1stwardchicago #wickerparkchicago #westtownchicago #logansquarechicago
