The campaign is over, and Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth is the learning the nuts and bolts of the job she worked hard to get.
You could call it City Council 101, and Manaa-Hoppenworth has the textbook to prove it -- an enormous binder containing the details every member needs to know.She's a community activist, a small business owner, mom of three and soon to be alderwoman of the 48th Ward.
"To make sure everybody's getting what they need -- no matter if they're a homeowner or a renter like I am or a small business owner," said Manaa-Hoppenworth."Everybody deserves to take advantage of all the great amenities of the 48th Ward in the City of Chicago." Conway is alderman-elect of the newly drawn 34th Ward. Once on Chicago's far South Side, the 34th ward now includes much of the central business district, along with parts of the South Loop and West Loop.The military officer, former prosecutor and former candidate for Cook County state's attorney remembers when he first met an alderman."When I was a kid, I'd take the bus to school and then Alderman Bernie Hanson would come and shake all of our hands," he said.
