We support Ann.
“We enthusiastically join together to endorse Ann Rainey for Alderman. Having served as Mayor of Evanston, each of us understands the value of experienced, knowledgeable, active Council members. During our terms as mayor, Ald. Ann Rainey offered all that and a solid record of achievement for the residents and businesses of the 8th Ward and the entire City of Evanston. With a new mayor, her insight will be more important than ever as the City takes on the many challenges of the coming years. Her guidance and ability to find equitable solutions to challenges facing her constituents and local businesses will be invaluable.”
“Since Claire and I moved to Evanston’s 8th Ward 21 years ago, Ann has always been available to us—and its not just when she finishes her day job because being our alderman is her round-the-clock job. We can reach out to her for help at any time—morning or night—and she’s immediately available. No one else can deliver that level of commitment and availability to their constituents.”
“Ann Rainey works tirelessly advocating for her constituents of the citizens of the 8th Ward and the citizens of Evanston passionately. Her work on revitalizing the Howard Street corridor and bringing business back has been successful for the ward and city. It is an honor for us to support her as she continues her hard work on behalf of the City of Evanston.”
“Ann Rainey is 110% an advocate and committed to the mission of the Levy Senior Center Foundation. She is responsive, a good listener, and helpful in navigating our needs and the needs of older adults. She attends our events and reaches out to see how she can be of help. Ann’s main concern is always the well-being of the 8th Ward and Evanston community, not politics or personal advancement. We are grateful for her enthusiastic support throughout the years.”
“My wife and I first met Ann about 20 years ago when she was our neighbor on Dobson. She has worked hard for all the residents of the 8th Ward, and her commitment to our neighborhood is unflagging. These are challenging times that call for experience and a commitment to progressive action—good intentions are not enough to make things happen. Ann’s deep understanding of city government, experience, and a proven track record is a must have for our ward and city.”
“Ann has been our 8th Ward Alderman for many years, and I have lived at my address for over 27 years. My model is if it’s not broken, don’t try to fix it with someone else. Thanks for all you do!”
“I have known Ald. Rainey for more than 20 years in my role with HODC, a nonprofit that develops affordable housing in the north suburbs. She has always been a fierce advocate for her constituents and a great supporter of affordable housing. She referred HODC’s first property to me me over two decades ago and has helped secure financing for other housing projects to serve low-income households. As an Evanston resident I recognize her dedication and commitment.”
Comprised of homeowners, renters and business owners, this list unites people of diverse backgrounds who believe that Ann shares their vision to make Evanston’s 8th Ward a better, more livable part of the city. Join the list.
