A first-of-its kind survey on Chicago ward remapping
Following its work to model a better way to draw ward boundaries with its Chicago Advisory Redistricting Commission, CHANGE Illinois joined forces with 12 other community organizations to sponsor a first-of-its-kind ward remapping survey of Chicago mayoral and aldermanic candidates so residents can know where candidates stand before casting ballots.
Take a look at what the mayoral and aldermanic candidates had to say about ward mapping and related concerns here.
