Angela Clay was born and raised in Uptown, and her multi-racial family goes back 80 years in the neighborhood. She grew up in affordable housing and attended local public schools, before earning a degree in public policy from DePaul University. She has been active in the neighborhood since she was a teenager, sits on a local school council, and has been a leader in local organizations focusing especially on education and housing issues.
An initiative of New Politics, the New Power Project is uniquely focused on recruiting and empowering values-driven individuals who have grown up in marginalized or underserved communities. Our focus is on community-based leaders who are ready to seek office now. We are extremely fortunate to support Angela Clay in her bid for 46th Ward Alderperson.
