ALDERMAN - 15TH WARD

Elect

“...his zeal to deal with community problems wins our endorsement.”

15th Ward: The new map created a ward that's more than two-thirds Latino and Ald. Toni Foulkes decided to run in the new 16th Ward.

Raymond Lopez, a skycap for Southwest Airlines, lost to Foulkes in 2011 but wound up as Democratic committeeman a year later when Foulkes withdrew from the race.

There's no denying Lopez already has boots on the ground. That feels like a good thing. He has worked to get gang houses demolished and has identified 456 abandoned properties in Englewood.

Lopez says businesses in the ward have seen little reinvestment from special taxing districts because the money is spent on programs like graffiti removal with unnecessarily high overhead. He says he'd make sure TIF dollars are directed only to blighted areas.

Lopez will be an organization regular, but his zeal to deal with community problems wins our endorsement.
