Here is the Tribune Editorial Board’s sixth installment of endorsements in contested races for aldermanic seats in Chicago’s Feb. 28 municipal election.
Ald. Ariel Reboyras, 30th, left, chats with Ald. Samantha Nugent, 39th, at a City Council meeting in Chicago on May 29, 2019.
Nicholas Sposato has been this Northwest Side ward’s alderman since 2015, and before that he represented the 36th Ward. He’s a former firefighter with conservative views on social issues, and in the past has been open about his support for Donald Trump. When he talks about public safety, he laments that the city is “hamstringing the police we have so that they are unable to do their jobs effectively. We need to back our police and make it apparent that we support them and are behind them.
In 2019, Andre Vasquez unseated a City Council fixture, Patrick O’Connor, who had been the 40th Ward’s alderman since 1983. We don’t agree with several of Vasquez’s progressive stances, but he also has approaches to big problems that we like.He believes that strong policing starts with accountability. He supported the city’s movement toward giving citizens much greater oversight and input into the Police Department’s operations and policies.
