The 40th Ward Dems 2022 Impact Report

My name is Bridget Degnen and I am the Cook County Commissioner for the 12th District. The 12th District runs from River North all the way up north through the 40th Ward and Lincoln Square, and then it runs straight West all the way to Portage Park and the 38th Ward. It covers parts of 14 different Chicago wards and contains about 330,000 people.

Last week, an anonymous neighbor sent a letter to the 47th Ward Alderman Matt Martin that threatened KJ and attacked the work of social justice advocates. Hate has no home in the 40th Ward, the 47th Ward, or anywhere. These kinds of harmful and cowardly threats do not represent the 40th Ward - and we showed up in numbers on Sunday to support KJ and to say that message loud and clear.
