These Chicago aldermanic candidates have a major public-employee-union endorsement, Early & Often tells us:
8th Ward: Michelle Harris
12th: George Cardenas
18th: Chuks Onyezia
19th: Matt O’Shea
24th: Sharon Denise Dixon
28th: Jason Ervin
30th: Ariel Reboyras
36th: John Rice
47th: Eugene Schulter
50th: Debra Silverstein
American Fed of State, County, & Municipal Employees (AFSCME) is the union. It has the best interests at heart of all Chicagoans, employed by state, county or municipality or not. You doubt that?
It had earlier endorsed these candidates:
1st: Proco “Joe” Moreno
2nd: Robert Fioretti
3rd: Pat Dowell
4th: Will Burns
5th: Leslie Hairston
6th: Freddrenna Lyle
7th: Sandi Jackson [wife of Rep. Jesse J. Jr.]
15th: Toni Foulkes
16th: JoAnn Thompson
20th: Willie Cochran
22nd: Ricardo Munoz
27th: Walter Burnett
29th: Deborah Graham
32nd: Scott Waguespack
35th: Rey Colon
38th: Tim Cullerton
45th: Marina Faz-Huppert
48th: Harry Osterman
49th: Joe Moore
That makes 29 of 50 aldermen, a clear majority for the Chicago city council, assuming they all win, as it careens toward budget-deciding in a time of looming financial catastrophe. Aren’t you glad you live there, you Chicagoans, you Cook Countyans, you Illinoisans?

This union endorsement fails to reflect the incumbent’s performance.
Ariel Reboyras is a terrible, lazy, invisible alderman here in the 30th Ward. He doesn’t follow up on important issues in the neighborhood… stuff that we have alerted him to. Even safety issues. I life just meters from his house and he is never visible or active checking on or improving the neighborhood.
Oh wait, the only sign of him is the campaign yard sign in that lawn over there… it just showed up yesterday.
I don’t know who is running against him, but I can’t wait to vote that chump Reboyras out.
