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
It was an honor to recognize Jewish American Heritage Month at City Council today! The Chicago metropolitan area is one of the largest Jewish communities in the world, with many Jewish Americans calling the 50th Ward home. As the only Jewish alderman on the City Council, it was a distinct honor to represent my people at City Hall.

I am immensely grateful for all our Jewish organizations do on behalf of the 50th Ward, the City of Chicago, the United States, and the world. Wishing a happy #JewishAmericanHeritageMonth to everyone! #JAHM ... See MoreSee Less
