On Background: WBEZ's Politics Podcast

News & Politics


A handful of the races for alderman this February are especially hot races. That's in part because they touch on issues deeply important to Chicago right now. Issues like the Obama Presidential Center (20th Ward), rapid gentrification (25th Ward), big money in politics (47th Ward), and old guard Chicago politics versus new guard Chicago politics (40th Ward).  WBEZ’s Becky Vevea talks with A.D Quig from The Daily Line about why these wards will be so interesting to watch this spring.  Editing by Cate Cahan and Alex Keefe. Production by Justin Bull.
