A tireless and visionary leader - @chicagosamir's positive contributions to the equitable economic development of Chicago is woven into the fabric of neighborhoods across the city. Thank you for your incredible service! 🙏
Chicago, the last four years have been an incredible journey, and serving on @chicagosmayor’s administration has been the experience of a lifetime. Here is a look back at the work we’ve accomplished. Cheers to four years of service to this wonderful City.

Today is National Housing Day. This day recognizes the urgent need to improve access to safe, quality, affordable housing for all Canadians. Our HOTT team has been doing this work for 35 years and are dedicated to reaching this vision for the future🏘
Congratulations Brad, the incredible Ward 19 team and volunteers, and the #BEY residents who chose the hardest working Councillor in the city!
Thank you, #BEY, for believing in me, and Believing in the East.
Let’s keep building on the progress we’ve made together. Here’s to four more years 🙌#TOpoli #TOVotes22
Today's Municipal Election Day in Toronto. Our votes will shape the city for the next 4 years and beyond.
If you're in Beaches-East York cast your ballot for @BradMBradford so he can continue his tireless work on housing, road safety, supporting small business and much more!
1/ 🧵 It’s been an incredible campaign with the most amazing team. We’ve knocked tens of thousands of doors and shared our message about a future of #BEY w/ more affordable housing, safer streets, and a strong local business community.
Local leaders matter more than most of us appreciate. And there are few as hard-working, dedicated and impactful as Brad.
Supporting him is about choosing leadership that brings people together, finds common ground where others find division, and leads by example. #topoli

Okay #Toronto, #Chicago is doing this. What do we think?
I've been waiting for the right moment to have a Toronto/Chicago policy debate since moving here. Most of the possibile topics have been too spicy, but this should be nice and uncontroversial, no?
☀️ CDOT welcomed a new member to the @Divvy family this morning.
Divvy scooters 🛴 are available downtown and are fully integrated into the existing system.

So proud of the @BradMBradford, @TORHousing and @cityoftoronto teams for making it to this day after a year of hard work.
Building homes for people to live with dignity shouldn't be this hard but, at least for now, it is. We're lucky for these leaders like this making it happen!
1/ An important day for housing, right here in the #EastEnd.
As we begin craning in 59 new units of #ModularHousing at Trenton/Cedarvale, we're building much-needed housing w/ supports on site. These units will provide shelter & opportunity for the new neighbours joining us.
Incredible things happen in Toronto, this is one of the most!
Congrats to the @BradMBradford @MGHToronto @Toronto_Hustle teams & sponsors on another amazing #RideforMind event, raising over $200k for a third year in a row. So proud!

As I settle into my new adventure launching affordable #housing programs in Chicago, it's tough to neatly capture what the last few years of making community-led change w @BradMBradford (and the #BEY team) have meant to me. It took @spaikin to help capture the Bradford way:
“I may have been elected first,” Brad says. “But she in every way was the role model in how to get the job done.”
From early morning rink practices to highly scheduled phone calls between our Committee meetings. It's been a journey!
Thank you @spaikin🙏

With a US president talking about zoning in White House press briefings, I can only be led to conclude that the next political superblock of our time will be made up of urban planners! Dust off your Jane Jacobs books, campaign strategists...
