What's At Stake on Election Day February 27?

Town Hall Meetings in our 3^rd Ward have made apparent that current Leadership complacency in the midst of scandal have led to:  uneven and poorly planned development; massive displacement of long-term residents and official mistrust; and a failure to include and engage new residents to any degree.

The Ward’s north (South Loop) has experienced incredibly rapid development without real input from residents. From parking meter placement to building height limits, residents have no say.  In our south Englewood precincts and our western precincts of Fuller Park and Back-of-the-Yards, residents have been left to fend for themselves—stuck in nearly complete “food deserts” and no job opportunities—as they are forced to leave.  In our center, Bronzeville has continued to see property value gains without the benefit of safe and clean streets and stores with healthy food choices within walking distance.  The result is that the dollars that do exist in our community fail in their “double duty” of re-circulating and advancing our community.  Favored precincts receive the bulk of Ward infrastructure funds. The rest of our street corners flood at the drop of rain. 

Mell Monroe is the Change the 3rd Ward Needs Now!

This year, it is truly Time for a Change.  Other standing tall remain short on good ideas despite years involved in urban planning discussion. Just as 24 years of incumbency has not equaled success, Organizational experience, massive financial support from Special Interests and Planning Department connections do not guarantee Action and Success.  What matters is an ability to grasp the issues, make Independent decisions, a brand new political environment where payback is not the play of the day, and for the 3rd Ward to have an Alderman with a strong will and allegiance to always do the right thing for the People.  The goal after two terms is to have our community be the best in Chicago.

This is the reason Mell Monroe is running for 3^rd Ward Alderman, and because there is a need to go back to transforming our Ward into a Real Community where residents can stay,  new residents continue to come, and all Chicagoans want to visit with enthusiasm.

Old Leadership Problems

That’s what’s at Stake on February 27!  The choice is Yours!
