Contacting Your Alderman in Chicago
13 07 2007
I’ve never done a single political thing in my life, save working at a call center in the 1996 elections to get extra credit for a government class. (I now know what telemarketers feel like, ug.)
As you probably already know, but what I was ignorant of, is that Chicago is divided up into 50 wards, which are run by an alderman, so if you want to contact someone about making a change, the alderman is your dude. (Or lady.)
The city of Chicago website has ward maps you can download, with the name of the alderman for your ward at:
www.cityofchicago.org (the link is on the bottom right of the page)
Once you figure out your ward, clicking the link on the City of Chicago website gives you their phone number, email and address for contacting your alderman about any issue!
