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

The annual 50th Ward Job Fair at the Northtown Library was a tremendous success today! Thank you to all of the organizations who participated, as well as all of the local residents who came to meet employers from a broad range of fields.
Thank you to State Senator Ram Villivalam, State Representative Kevin Olickal, and Illinois Department of Employment Security - IDES for partnering with me every year to organize this event.
I hope that the job fair was successful for everyone who attended, and I will continue to do whatever I can to chip away at the unemployment rate in our city and neighborhood. ... See MoreSee Less
