Chicago Neighborhood Revitalization Caucus

This is a crucial time for lawmakers to support policies that will revitalize neighborhood business districts and support Chicago small businesses.

We are very thankful to the following policymakers for their interest in participating in the caucus:
- Senator Lakesia Collins

- Representative Margaret Croke
- Representative Lindsey LaPointe
- Representative Hoan Huynh

- Alderman Desmon Yancy
- Alderman Matt O’Shea
- Alderman Andre Vasquez
- Alderman Walter Burnett Jr.
- Alderman Derrick Curtis
- Alderman Gilbert Villegas
- Alderman William Conway
