This is simply a draft with a collection of the progressive, independent and/or left-wing candidates in the upcoming local Chicago elections. Of course, we hope no one votes for any uncontested Aldermanic incumbents.

Mayor - William "Dock" Walls

Aldermen

4 - Toni Preckwinkle (incumbent)

12 - Alberto Bocanegra, Jr. or Carina Sanchez

14 - Paloma Andrade
She has been disqualified by the Daley machine after nearly becoming Ed Burke's first challenger since 1969, but her name remains on the ballot, and we encourage you to vote for her. Before she was disqualified, goons intimidated her few campaign volunteers out of working for her.

25 - Cuahutemoc Morfin

32 - Scott Waguespack

43 - Peter Zelchenko

46 - Helen Shiller (incumbent)

49 - Joe Moore (incumbent)

And if you live in one of thefew wards with Big Box Ordinance-style referenda, of course we hope you vote yes!

Again, if you are in any anti-Bush activism or do electoral work, we hope you have the same commitment to local elections where we actually have greater chances at real change. The Daley Machine and its cronies in the County government is as big a scourge of the poor and working people and students of Chicago as federal level government is. Help combat the machine!
