The 11th Ward is one of the 50 aldermanic wards with representation in the City Council of Chicago, Illinois. It is broken into 38 election precincts.[1] Five Mayors of Chicago have come from this ward: Edward Joseph Kelly, Martin H. Kennelly, Richard J. Daley, Michael A. Bilandic and Richard M. Daley.[2]
The ward has had notable levels of political corruption.[3][4][5] It is home to the headquarters of the so-called Daley machine and the 11th ward "...had by far the highest number of trucking firms benefitting from the City of Chicago's Hired Truck Program".[6]
Alderpersons
[edit]The current alderperson for the 11th ward is Nicole Lee.
Before 2021, alderpersons were formally known as "aldermen".[7]
Previous aldermen include:
- Patrick Daley Thompson who, in 2022 was sentenced to four months in federal prison.[8][9] His conviction arose from a federal indictment for "five counts of filing false tax returns and two counts of lying to the FDIC".[10]
- James Balcer[2]
- Pat Huels, resigned due to conflicts of interest[11][12]
- Michael Anthony Bilandic
- Matthew J. Danaher, indicted[13]
- Amos G. Throop
- George Bell Swift
- Lester L. Bond
1863–1923
[edit]From the creation of the district in 1863 until 1923, it was represented by two aldermen elected to two-year terms. Elections were staggered.
