Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky endorses James Cappleman for 46th Ward Alderman

 

Chicago, IL – Democratic Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky announced her strong support of 46th Ward Aldermanic candidate James Cappleman. 

Cappleman – a former teacher, social worker and community advocate – is in the April 5th run-off election to replace retiring Alderman Helen Shiller.  Schakowsky joins a growing number of progressive voices supporting Cappleman, who also has the endorsement of the 46th Ward Democrats, State Senator Heather Steans, former State Senator Carol Ronen and former Aldermanic candidate Emily Stewart.

“I endorse James Cappleman because he’ll fight for progressive values in the Chicago City Council.  We’ll work together to fight right-wing attempts to roll back important rights.  I know he has the values and experience to make a difference working for the 46th ward.  Progressives need James Cappleman as Alderman.”

“Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky is one of the most effective and respected leaders in our community,” said Cappleman.  “Voters in the 46th ward trust her ability and her judgment.  I’m honored to have her endorsement and I’m looking forward to working with her to improve our neighborhoods.”
