I remember being overseas and missing Thanksgiving/Christmas with my family while serving my country. To all of our service members on duty around the world, thank you and your family for your sacrifice to our great nation. #Thanksgiving #semperfidelis

I just don’t get this. If you advocated for an elected school board then let’s have all members elected and not appointed. Please call your Illinois General Assembly member and ask them to support the Senate bill which requires all members be elected.

Johnson seeks election for 10 school board members — not all 21

Mayor Brandon Johnson has thrown his support behind legislation that establishes 10 school board races this year and another 11 in 2026, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Please vote yes on the referendum question regarding reopening the 13th Police District in West Town. We need to hold criminals accountable! #EnoughIsEnough

The VOTERS of the 36th Ward sent a resounding message to the special interests groups that this seat isn’t for sale, it belongs to the people! Sometimes folks have to find out for themselves. Thank you 36th Ward! #58 -42 #landslidevictory #notsentandunbossed #Independentdemocrat

8-8-88 was the first Cubs night game but it was also my first day at Marine Corps boot camp. I can’t believe it’s been 35 years since I raised my right hand and took the oath to defend our country against all enemies foreign and domestic. #2086 Golf Company ⁦ @USMC ⁩

@jus10chi @CrainsChicago My staff will be putting forward an ordinance to identify areas and an appropriation amount to provide for a pilot to #plowthesidewalks in the city. Should be ready for introduction this month.
