Background

Chair of the 6th District Council and a saxophonist. In a Dec. 5, 2025 letter, the council's other two members asked him to resign, writing that he had not attended any regular or special council meeting since April 2025 and, with one exception, had not answered the council's emails or notices. CWB Chicago reported in February 2026 that he was still receiving the $500 monthly stipend and had not answered its request for comment.
