Susanna's pledge to serve our community:​

​Fair and Equitable Constituent Services

​Everyone deserves to be treated as a valued member of their community. Under recent neighborhood leadership, it’s clear that we’ve been divided into groups of “us” against “them.” As someone who’s worked with neighborhood organizations across the Ward, I’ll be here to listen. All our neighbors deserve a voice in our government, not just a select few. As our first Alderwoman, I will give all interested civic groups a seat at the table, provide city services to everyone who needs them, emphasize community collaboration and unity, and ensure economic opportunities exist for everyone.

Local Business and Chambers of Commerce Support​

As a Ward, we all want to support our neighborhood businesses and enjoy a thriving local economy. Unfortunately, we’ve allowed vacant storefronts to become the norm. To address these concerns, I will work to ensure funding for local chambers of commerce and help area groups collaborate more successfully. Sensible development that actually addresses the needs of the neighborhood must be our standard.​

Active Collaboration for Safer Communities​

We all want safer communities. However, solving the crime and violence problems facing the City of Chicago cannot be done on a ward-by-ward basis, nor from the backseat. I’m prepared to collaborate with City Council colleagues to promote holistic solutions to our urgent public safety concerns. I will proactively foster stronger relationships between our community and our first responders.

Consistent, Inclusive, and Clear Communication​​

Our community deserves to know how their elected leaders are representing them in City government. I am committed to accessible, respectful and proactive communication with residents. I will bring back “Ward Nights,” where anyone can engage directly, ensuring that people know about local happenings as well as legislation that may impact them in City Council. I will also establish a formalized, regularly held civic night where community orgs from across the Ward communicate in an open forum with the Ward office and each other. In this way, we can understand each other's diverse needs and execute on improvement plans collaboratively.
