This is a crucial time for lawmakers to support policies that will revitalize neighborhood business districts and support Chicago small businesses.  Therefore, we have formed a neighborhood revitalization caucus where politicians from various facets of government can come together, collaborate with stakeholders, and work to revitalize local economies.

We are very thankful to the following policymakers for their interest in participating in the caucus:

  • Senator Lakesia Collins
  • Senator Mike Simmons
  • Representative Lilian Jimenez
  • Representative Margaret Croke
  • Representative Lindsey LaPointe
  • Representative Hoan Huynh
  • Representative Kimberly Du Buclet
  • Alderman Jason Ervin
  • Alderman Lamont J. Robinson
  • Alderman Scott Waguespack
  • Alderwomen Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth
  • Alderwomen Jessie Fuentes
  • Alderman Bennett Lawson
  • Alderman Matt Martin
  • Alderman Desmon Yancy
  • Alderman Matt O'Shea
  • Alderman Andre Vasquez
  • Alderman Walter Burnett Jr.
  • Alderman Derrick Curtis
  • Alderman Gilbert Villegas
  • Alderman William Conway
  • Alderwoman Angela Clay
  • BACP Commissioner Kenneth Meyer

We look forward to working with these policymakers to revitalize neighborhood business districts and support local businesses.
