122 candidates are running for District Council in February! "Most of the recruitment and training was done by @ChicagoECPS, which was the driving force behind civilian police oversight. The group trained over 200 candidates and got 75 of them to run." chicago.suntimes.com/2022/11…

122 candidates will compete for 66 seats on Chicago’s new police district councils

Three districts where crime is surging — Central, Gresham and Shakespeare — have only two candidates for three open seats.
