As more alderpeople announce their retirement from Chicago City Council, the Chicago Democratic Socialists of America endorses new candidates.
The group, which has more than 3,000 members, endorsed Uptown resident Angela Clay, who is running to represent the 46th Ward, West Ridge resident Mueze Bawany, who is running to unseat Ald. Debra Silverstein in the 50th Ward and Oscar Sanchez, a resident of the Southeast Side who is running for 10th Ward alderperson.
Chicago’s Democratic Socialists of America, known as DSA, has now made two sets of endorsements, an indication that group leaders see February’s elections as an opportunity to expand the City Council’s now five-member Democratic Socialist Caucus significantly. The first set of endorsements from Chicago’s DSA included Ald. Carlos Ramirez Rosa , Ald. Daniel La Spata , Ald. Jeanette Taylor and Ald. Rossana Rodriguez-Sanchez , all members of Chicago’s DSA chapter who were endorsed by the group in 2019. Ramirez Rosa, LaSpata and Rodriguez-Sanchez have already drawn challengers.
The group will consider endorsing Pilsen Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez at their general chapter meeting, which is scheduled for Oct. 16, group leaders said. Sigcho-Lopez is the only member of the City Council’s Socialist Caucus who has not yet been endorsed by Chicago’s DSA.
