Sources for Local Politcal Races

With the February 2nd local elections looming, we've been reading about some of the races at various places. This week the Chicago Journal had a good run down on the different races and some of the key differentiating issues supported by the candidates. They also had a recent blog post about the candidates fundraising efforts.

We also frequently get an email newsletter titled "Enrique's Community Updates". According to a recent email blast, a week from Saturday (1/30) they're hosting a get to know the candidates event at the Hotel Blake (500 S. Dearborn) from 10am to 4pm.

Finally, we also received an email from the David Shroeder campaign notifying us of his candidacy for the state representative in the 5th district. It was also noted that he is a proud South Loop resident. For more information on him, check out his website here. To be fair to the other candidates, here are their respective websites:

• Incumbent - Ken Dunkin
• Gwendolyn Drake
