CALUMET CITY â More than two decades after becoming Calumet City s first black alderman, Thaddeus Jones made history again on Saturday.
Before several dozen family members, friends and elected officials in the city council chambers, Jones was sworn in as the first black mayor in the city s 128-year history.
The city s incumbent clerk, Nyota Figgs, and incumbent treasurer, Gerald Tarka, also were sworn in for another term, and seven council members also were sworn in.
Jones, who also is in his sixth term as a state representative for the 29th District, defeated 18-year incumbent Mayor Michelle Markiewicz Qualkinbush in February s Democratic primary and won this month s general election over write-in candidate Tony Quiroz.
