Making life better for people is the reason for doing community organizing.

Thank you!

by Terri Schierer

The 11th Ward primary election was held Tuesday, February 23, 2021. The people have spoken and the incumbent was successful. Thank you for all the supporters who came out to the polls! It was so exciting to run for alderman because I met so many people who care about the future of the 11th Ward. The struggle is not over. 11th ward can be renewed!

The most important thing, now, is to for you stay involved. Contact your alderman and ask him to do his job to improve the 11th Ward. I will stay involved, but I will reevaluate in which way I will serve. Watch this space and my Facebook group page.
