Deborah Lane has spent her career showing up, bringing people together, and getting difficult work done — from decades at the CTA to statewide leadership and public service. Now she’s running for 42nd Ward Alderperson to bring that experience home: listening to people, working alongside neighbors, and giving the job everything she’s got.
Downtown is an economic engine for Chicago and the entire state, but it is also a neighborhood where people live, raise families, work, and build businesses. Deborah is running to protect what makes downtown thrive while focusing on the everyday things that make a neighborhood feel like home: safer streets and transit, dependable city services, thriving small businesses, and a ward office that gets people answers and gets things done. Your contribution to Friends for Deborah Lane will help us reach voters, organize across the ward, and build a campaign that shows up for the people who call the 42nd Ward home.
Let’s get moving!
