With all eyes on the presidential race, Ben shifts his attention back to Chicago. At least for today. Brendan joins Ben to talk…Musical committee chairs in the council. Why do some alders hate on Byron Sigcho Lopez? What does the zoning committee chair do and why do we need a mayoral ally to do it? Aldermanic privilege— myth or reality? And the showdown between Mayor Johnson and his school board.

The St. Louis Board of Aldermen went through a major political and structural transformation in 2023. St. Louis Board of Aldermen President Megan Green discusses some of the highlights of the past year and what to expect from her aldermanic colleagues in 2024.

The St. Louis Board of Aldermen went through a major political and structural transformation in 2023. On “The Politically Speaking Hour on St. Louis on the Air,” St. Louis Board of Aldermen President Megan Green talked about some of the highlights of the past year and what to expect from her aldermanic colleagues in 2024. This interview was recorded on Dec. 18, 2021.

Federal investigators are taking aim at the role aldermanic prerogative has on the lack of affordable housing in Chicago. After a nearly five-year investigation, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development found that alderpersons' ability to veto affordable housing proposals has been “instrumental in creating Chicago's patterns of segregation.” Reset learns more from Roderick Wilson, executive director of Lugenia Burns Hope Center; and Monica Dillon, resident of the 41st ward and member of Neighbors for Affordable Housing.

Patricia Fron, the co-executive director of the Chicago Fair Housing Alliance, joins Lisa Dent to explain why it was wrong for some Chicago City Council members to use their aldermanic prerogative to limit the creation of affordable housing in certain wards.

Aldermen claim it's their prerogative to keep immigrants out of their wards. Ben riffs—maybe no one knows what prerogative means. Graciela Guzman, Democratic candidate for state senator in the 20th district, talks politics and policy. The politics are straight up Chicago. The policies have to do with figuring out who pays for what.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

House Warming Podcast, Episode 012: Building the Foundation for the Future City that We Need to Be with Maria Hadden, Alderwoman of the 49th Ward    In this episode, Sarah Bury talks with Alderwoman Maria Hadden about the environmental legislation she has supported, including an order to assess the cost of bringing back the Chicago Department of Environment.  Alderwoman Maria Hadden was born in Columbus, Ohio, and her parents Skip and Toni taught Maria  two foundational lessons. 1) Be curious and ask questions. It's important to understand how things work and why. 2) Problems that affect any of us, affect all of us. And that if you see something wrong and you're able to help, you should do what you can to make it right.  After graduating from The Ohio State University with a BA in International Peace and Conflict Studies, she moved to Chicago. She chose Rogers Park because of its affordability, welcoming community culture and proximity to the lake. A weekly regular at The Heartland Cafe, in Rogers Park, Maria found community.Rogers Park was the first place Maria lived in Chicago, where she purchased her first home and where her activism blossomed. When the housing bubble burst in 2007, and the developer of her building fled the country, Maria helped organize her neighbors to save their homes. Maria has been organizing with the community ever since.Maria has been a leader in the 49th Ward through her advocacy, her art, and her work with Participatory Budgeting in Chicago. She lives with her partner, Natalia, and their rescue dog. Maria is a photographer and artist who leads screenprinting workshops for young people. She took over The Art Patch Project from longtime Rogers Park activist Chris Drew and believes art is an important medium for activism and personal expression.Before becoming Alderwoman, Maria Hadden was the Executive Director of Our City Our Voice, a national nonprofit organization she founded to enable communities and government across the country to redesign democracy for more empowered and equitable participation. Her expertise in public participation is grounded in grassroots organizing efforts for social change.Before launching her own organization, Maria was a founding board member of The Participatory Budgeting Project, where she worked for 8 years with communities and government officials in the Midwest and South to create and facilitate democratic processes around public budgets. In this role, Maria has also worked with Aldermen throughout Chicago to design participatory budgeting processes around Aldermanic menu money, school budgets and TIF funds.​Maria currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Black Youth Project (BYP) 100, and Voqal. BYP is an organization of activists aiming to create justice and freedom for all Black people through the principles of leadership development and inclusivity using  Black, queer, feminist lens.

We're talking local politics on this weeks episode of the Kdhx podcast Tangazo. Tim Person a long time political operative and Michael Wesly Jones editorial columnist for the Stlouis American Newspaper, join me for some lively political repartee, as we take a deeper dive into the Stlouis Aldermanic ward reduction, from 28 down to 14. We begin that discussion looking for winners and losers, only to discover that there were no losers,  only winners. Very few people thought that the Stlouis board of aldermen was capable of reducing itself by half. Aldermanic seats of friends, allies and neighborhood disruptions, were on the table but under the leadership of Board of Aldermen President, Lewis Reed, the feat was accomplished with very little rancour. The final draft was unanimously passed by the board and Stlouis Mayor Tishaura O. Jones has indicated that she plans to sign off on it. We paused to acknowledge the political maturation, that we are witnessing from St Louis's top two political leaders, who have a history of being combative, to say the least. Their ability to work together on critical issues putting personal politics aside, such as ward reduction, bodes well for the city of Stlouis. A city that was floundering with high crime and dramatic population loss is now poised to begin the process of becoming a great city once again and the ability of African American leadership, to work together is of vital importance, to the future of St Louis.

February 18th, 2020 is a primary election day for Milwaukee, that includes primary elections for Mayor and Alderman. We sit down with Christian Saldivar, a candidate for the 8th Aldermanic district to talk about what’s in the 8th district and what his platform contains. The other candidates running for the same seat are Angel Sanchez, Eduardo Loera, Jocasta Zamarippa, Justin Bielinski, and Ryan Antczak.

WARNING: This edition of Sources with Knowledge is extra rant-filled. The Chicago Teacher’s Union is ready to strike, mother***ers! And they’ve got their own Aldermanic version of a motivational speaker. But none of that can hide just how unreasonable their demands are. Eric and Joe break down the Des Moines Register’s incandescently horrible handling of the Carson King story. The reward for raising $1 million for a children’s hospital? A newspaper trying to ruin your life, only to have the reporter who did it caught up in the same kind of social media scandal immediately after. We live in a society without forgiveness but with perpetual atonement. What can we do about it? Was the climate strike worth it? Did it even make sense? And can we stop putting kids in the middle of the political process? Thrillist has a “painstaking” ranking of Taco Bell menu items. How’d they do? Not so well.

In this Raw Cut, members of the Chicago Maroon's editorial team sit down with Anthony Driver, an aldermanic canidate for the 20th ward. The youngest candidate in the race, Anthony Driver has entered it with experiences working with the Chicago Mayor’s Office for Public Engagement and participating in activism in Washington, D.C. Driver’s personal experiences with gun violence motivate him to combat the issue and he said his time spent working in the mayor’s office equips him to handle the problem. One of his proposed solutions is to institute a gun disposal program at police stations. He also wants to create a 20th Ward credit union to help local businesses grow.Featuring: Anthony Driver, members of the Chicago Maroon editorial team

In this Raw Cut, members of the Maroon editorial staff sit down with Jeanette Taylor, a 20th ward aldermanic canidate. Jeanette Taylor is a Woodlawn resident with activist roots in the South Side.

St. Louis Board of Aldermen President Lewis Reed’s narrow victory on Tuesday required some unusual political coalitions and allies to come together. Reed bested state Sen. Jamilah Nasheed and Alderwoman Megan Green in easily the toughest re-election bid since he captured the presidency of the Board of Aldermen in 2007. It came after years of political toil for the Democratic official, featuring two unsuccessful bids for mayor and high-profile fights with aldermanic colleagues. St. Louis Public Radio's Jason Rosenbaum and Rachel Lippmann break down the results.

WGN-TV's Tahman Bradley and the Daily Line's Heather Cherone join Ken Davis for a final analysis of next week's municipal election. They agree that Chicago should brace itself for a long night next Tuesday because the two candidates emerging in the Mayoral runoff might not be known for a week or two if neither commands a clear, decisive victory. This is due in large part to the fact that more than sixty-thousand mail-in ballots have been requested, and they won't be counted until after election day. So, if the top vote-getters fail to score enough votes to make the potential mail-in vote irrelevant, we'll all have to wait - possibly two weeks - until the mail-in votes are counted. In addition, there are as many as a dozen hotly contested Aldermanic races, many of which could also end up in a runoff - all of which adds to the intrigue of Chicago's second-only runoff-style election. This program was produced by Chicago Access Television.

At our Midwest Socialist Live Aldermanic Candidate Forum we talked to 25th Ward aldermanic candidate Byron Sigcho-Lopez about the current alderman’s misdeeds, why we need more activists in city hall and the similarities he has seen between working class people in Chicago and those in his native Ecuador.

At our Midwest Socialist Live Aldermanic Candidate Forum we talked to 40th Ward aldermanic candidate Ugo Okere about his background in social work, the role of alderman as “organizer and chief” of the ward, and his work to make people on the far north side care about the struggles of those on the south and west sides of Chicago.

At our Midwest Socialist Live Aldermanic Candidate Forum we talked to 33rd Ward aldermanic candidate Rossana Rodriguez about canvassing until her feet go numb, comparisons to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, her own displacement from her home and how we create real public safety in our communities.

On this edition of the Politically Speaking podcast, St. Louis Public Radio's Jason Rosenbaum, Rachel Lippmann and Jenny Simeone welcome St. Louis Alderman Jeffrey Boyd to the program for the first time.

Have you ever thought of quitting your job? Maybe you're too stressed and you need to get out now before you find the next thing? Or maybe you just want to travel for a bit to clear your head? This idea of taking time off of work without having a job lined up is becoming increasingly popular. But then,the thought can be scary because of the unknown. It's a big risk. In the current April issue of O, The Oprah Magazine I tackle how to best afford this move. How much money to have saved, how to secure health insurance and how to make a great comeback when you're ready to work again. In the column, I got to speak with some women who did this in all different circumstances and one woman in particular, Kristen Field. She's joining me on the podcast today to talk more about her personal experience, what she did with her time off and how she found work when she was ready to come back. How do you know when it's time to quit? How can you position a break on your resume so it doesn't look like this gaping hole? A little bit more about Kristen: She's now an independent consultant supporting the President and CEO of Lifeway Foods, Inc. and supports Step Up as the National Interim Coordinator of Expansion and Fundraising. Prior to her roles now, she worked as a Director of Finance for an Aldermanic campaign in Chicago's 38th Ward. For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com.

Gloria Muhammad, aldermanic candidate in St. Louis's Third Ward, and Megan Betts, aldermanic candidate in the 5th Ward discuss their campaigns and the issues in preparation for the upcoming elections.

Aldermanic candidates, Dan Guenther of the 9th Ward and Lindsay Pattan of the 19th, discuss their campaigns leading up to the March 7 election.

On this week's show, we're joined by the president of the St. Louis Board of Aldermen, Lewis Reed. After admitting his "deep, dark secret," Reed talks about how his race against Mayor Francis Slay changed the governing calculus at City Hall, and whether the balance of power is shifting in favor of the mayor. We conclude with the topic du jour - the renewed conversations around merging St. Louis city and St. Louis County. Originally published on Nov. 21, 2013.

Why Ben moderates aldermanic candidate debates; how ranked-choice voting (RCV) works; and whether Chicago could use RCV in municipal elections. Length 7.9 minutes.
