John’s Campaign Announcement

The cur­rent wave of anti-​​incumbent sen­ti­ment is grow­ing, and the voice of the peo­ple will most cer­tainly be heard loud and clear in the upcom­ing elec­tions. People are sim­ply fed up with elected offi­cials who fail to do the job they were entrusted to do. Rest assured, the days of politi­cians putting their own self-​​interests above those of their con­stituents will soon be over.

As a long time ward res­i­dent, home­owner and vet­eran Chicago Police Lieutenant, I’ve reg­u­larly seen the neg­a­tive impact self-​​serving politi­cians have on our com­mu­nity. Rather than rep­re­sent our best inter­ests, they too often become con­sumed with power and greed. As a result, we the com­mu­nity suf­fer while their friends and fam­ily pros­per. This has to change!

Like you, I am tired of pay­ing ridicu­lously high taxes for poor city ser­vices. I am tired of watch­ing our elected rep­re­sen­ta­tives put their own inter­ests before those of the com­mu­nity they were elected to serve, and I am tired of see­ing our police and fire resources depleted due to the con­tin­ued mis­man­age­ment of our hard earned tax dol­lars. For this to con­tinue is intol­er­a­ble! It does not have to be this way, and with your help I will ensure that things change.

In light of the above, I have decided to run for 45th Ward Alderman. As such, I’m ask­ing you to reach out to your fam­ily, your friends, your neigh­bors and let them know there is a can­di­date run­ning who is not a career politi­cian and not part of the Chicago “Machine”. A can­di­date like you who is fed up with the sta­tus quo, and is ready and will­ing to do the right thing for our com­mu­nity. I am ask­ing you to spread the word that a vote for me is a vote for lower taxes, increased pub­lic safety, and hon­esty and integrity in city gov­ern­ment. I am ask­ing to be your voice for our ward.
