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 was very happy to join the West Ridge Cleanup Crew and fellow neighbors for a community cleanup along Oakley Avenue this week. Together, we cleaned multiple blocks and filled 12 large bags with garbage.
A big thank you to the West Ridge Cleanup Crew and to everyone who volunteered their time to make our neighborhood a cleaner, more beautiful place. I’m grateful for all the neighbors who take pride in our community and pitch in to make a difference! 💚🌳 ... See MoreSee Less
