Happy Friday, Neighbors!
I am still excited and exhausted after this past week, where we were able to win re-election with 78% of the vote - the largest margin by any progressive in the City of Chicago!
We achieved this together by doing what we said we would do when we came to office - improving services, increasing communications, and writing the bold progressive legislation to move our ward and city forward. None of this would be possible without our community coming together to create the Open Government model that has served us well this first term. Thank you to everyone who supported us, and also to those who didn't as the feedback is helpful to our constant improvement.
As we look to the next four years, our office will be taking the time to plan our priorities, events, and initiatives to continue building community together, and we look forward to partnering with you to achieve even more success in the coming term.
I also want to shout out to the 12 folks who were elected to serve as our Police District Councilors, who will be charged with being the public safety liaisons for our four police districts. We will be partnering to increase safety for all in our community and to further connect our neighbors to keep us all informed and safe!
This weekend, I am going to spend some time with my wife Valerie and my kids, Avery and Parker, after not being able to for the past number of months. Rest assured, I will be every bit as accessible, accountable, and transparent as I have been.
See you in the neighborhood, and thank you for your faith in me and the work we are committed to!
Yours in Service and Community,
Andre Vasquez
