When U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Evanston) visited Evanston Tuesday, she didn’t come empty-handed, bringing a check worth $1.13 million for local childhood development nonprofit Family Focus. The money was allocated from the federal government’s 2023 Omnibus Appropriations bill, and will go toward infrastructure improvements at the organization’s Weissbourd-Holmes Center in Evanston’s 5th Ward, according to.

Background
I am a third generation Evanstonian who has lived in the 6th Ward for more than 30 years. If I am elected in April, I will be a second generation City Council member, My stepfather, James B Moran, served on the Evanston City Council in the 1970’s. His legacy is carried on through the work of the Moran Center for Youth Advocacy.
