LaPamela Williams
Chicago Board of Education, District 5a, on the Chicago ballot November 3, 2026.
Running on
Williams, a first-time candidate, says she wants to see a differently run school system, especially in her West Side district, so families do not have to send children outside their neighborhood for a quality education, as her mother did for her. Her stated priorities include increasing financial literacy instruction and finding ways to keep students from missing too much school, and she says she would look for practical solutions for the community.
Background
Williams is a realtor. This is her first run for public office.
