Hoping to offer a new, yet informed perspective to City Council, Devon Reid says he’s prioritizing transparency and accountability in his campaign for 8th Ward alderman.
The city clerk was born in Evanston, and spent his teenage years in Chicago before returning to the 8th Ward. Upon his return to Evanston, he became involved in local political campaigns. With a background as a political consultant and a community organizer, Reid was elected city clerk in 2017.
Reid said becoming 8th Ward alderman would be a “natural evolution” from his current role, and believes his experience as city clerk will work to his advantage.
