Alderman Anthony Quezada is the proud son of working-class immigrant parents and was raised in Logan Square. Before entering elected office, he worked in low-wage restaurant jobs and later served as the 35th Ward Neighborhood Services Director for former Alderman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa for more than six years.

As a community organizer, Anthony helped lead efforts to build affordable housing, defend immigrant families facing deportation, and support residents during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2020, Anthony was elected 35th Ward Democratic Committeeperson and became the chair of the party’s first Policy Committee. In 2022, he was elected Cook County Commissioner for the 8th District. During his two and a half years in office, he passed legislation expanding paid leave protections, secured funding for a new dental clinic at Cook County’s Belmont Cragin Health Center, and helped thousands of homeowners obtain property tax relief.

In April 2025, Anthony was appointed Alderman of the 35th Ward following a community vetting process. Since taking office, he has introduced and supported legislation to strengthen tenant protections, expand affordable housing, provide property tax relief, and ensure the wealthiest individuals and corporations contribute more toward the public services that Chicagoans rely on.

Our campaign is 100% grassroots funded and will never accept money from corporate PACs or luxury housing developers.
