Meet Alderman Debra Silverstein
Hello to all my friends and neighbors in the 50th Ward. I am always available and happy to help with any city needs. I hope to hear from you soon!
A Message from Alderman Silverstein
“The 50th Ward is the most diverse and wonderful neighborhood in the City of Chicago. There is nowhere else where you can visit an Indian restaurant, a Kosher bakery, and a Muslim bookstore all within a few blocks. If you live here, you know how great it is. If you don’t, come on up and see what the 50th Ward has to offer!”
Alderman Debra Silverstein

I am deeply saddened by the passing of CPD Sergeant Kenneth Fowler who served the 24th District. A lifelong Chicagoan who grew up in Rogers Park, Sgt. Fowler dedicated his career to protecting the residents of the 50th Ward with honor and integrity.
My heart goes out to his family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. As a devoted father and a courageous public servant, Sgt. Fowler’s legacy of service brings immense pride to our Ward and the entire City of Chicago. We are forever grateful for his contributions to public safety and his unwavering commitment to keeping our community safe.
There will be a funeral procession Friday 1/30 at 10:00am - It will start at Devon & Kedzie, then will head east on Pratt towards Western and Clark. ... See MoreSee Less

Huge congratulations and heartfelt thanks to Joe Sass, the incredible CPS crossing guard near Jamieson Elementary School, for truly going above and beyond during yesterday’s water main break. When frigid floodwaters covered the street, Joe didn’t hesitate—he literally carried students across, keeping them dry and secure.

I led a delegation of elected officials and government leaders to the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center temporary downtown location today. We were joined by Chicago aldermen, Chicago school board members, Cook County leadership, and Chicago city department heads to learn about the horrors of the Holocaust and the lessons it can teach us about combating antisemitism and hate of all kinds. Thank you to all of my colleagues who came, and to the Museum for hosting us! ... See MoreSee Less

We are in for severely cold weather over the next few days, with wind chills reaching as low as 40 below zero. This weather is extremely dangerous. Please take all necessary precautions to stay safe and warm, and remember to check on the well-being of friends, relatives, and neighbors who live alone, especially the elderly and those with disabilities.Blustery today with a few flurries at times. Bitter cold is expected tonight-early next week. Lake effect snow may develop into northwest IN on Friday with increasing potential for accumulating snow in the area this weekend, though confidence remains low. ... See MoreSee Less
