Alderman Carlos Aviña Soto (English)

Carlos is now one of 4 Spanish speakers on the West Chicago City Council—a historic first for the city.In this episode, he discusses his 2025 campaign and his method for knocking on every door in Ward 6. (He ran out of pamphlets really fast.) Carlos also describes how he sees his role—as a bridge from the people, to the mayor.PLEASE CONTACT YOUR ALDERMEN THIS WEEKEND. Every one of the legacy aldermen need to hear whether or not you expect the new administration to be able to appoint a city administrator, city attorney, and police chief (as clearly outlined under the description of the Mayor's duties on the city website: "To appoint and remove, with the advice and consent of the Council, the City Administrator, the Chief of Police and the corporation counsel.")
