Coalition questions to candidates:
-
Resignations and appointments have characterized the Northside for decades, particularly with the state senate and representative seats. Do you as a candidate join us in our demand that committee members have an open voting and negotiation process for voters to witness? What reforms to the appointment process will you commit to?
-
What role should Springfield have in reducing racist policing practices in Chicago?
-
What will you do specifically to protect frontline communities from polluters and explicitly address environmental racism/injustice in our transition to a “Green Economy”?
-
How would you stay engaged in local communities in your district and make sure you’re representing the community voice?
