He Said He Would. He Did.
We did not run in 2015 for ambition or a title. We ran because 20,000 neighbors had been pushed out of Pilsen by neglect, corruption, and silence, and because the schools had to stay open. In 2019 the ward closed a 23 year chapter of Danny Solis and elected a teacher and organizer who took no money from developers. Neighbors have been checking the receipts ever since.
-
Take no developer or corporate money
Not one dollar since 2015. Byron has upheld that commitment every year in office, and he has pushed for publicly financed elections so no alderman has to depend on that money.
-
Every Tuesday. Seven years.
Ward Night every Tuesday since 2019, including all the way through the pandemic. Masks and sanitizer delivered door to door. Neighbors in Chinatown sent PPE and vaccines. Close to $100,000 raised for emergency relief, not by billionaires but by the people, for neighbors who qualified for nothing else, including undocumented neighbors.
-
Put zoning back in the neighbors' hands
A resident Zoning Advisory Board, with members from every neighborhood in the ward, now weighs in on what gets built. In April 2026 that board reviewed Casa Nayarit, the first 76 permanently affordable homes on the Pilsen lot the city bought after Byron blocked 500 luxury apartments.
-
Deliver, block by block
Over 800 units of affordable housing created or preserved. Over $500,000 from the state for violence prevention. Over $1 million for Benito Juarez and other ward schools. Cermak Road repaved, and 311 pushed until the potholes and the streetlights got fixed.
Seven years later the list is longer and the promise has not changed. It was never about one alderman. It was always about we, the people. On February 23, 2027, the 25th Ward decides whether the work keeps going. Until then, the work is Sundays on the doors and Tuesdays at Ward Night.

"It has never been about me. It has always been about we. We, the people."
An immigrant, a husband, a dad of triplets in Chicago Public Schools, a democratic socialist, and your current 25th Ward alderman.
As Chairman of the Committee on Housing and Real Estate, and as a policymaker, he has passed ordinances that protect our communities against gentrification and the displacement of multi-generational families.
Together we have won investments in our community's safety, health, education and housing. Over 800 units of affordable housing created or preserved. The largest vacant site in Pilsen, at 18th and Peoria, bought by the city after the neighbors stopped the luxury towers, with Casa Nayarit now selected to build the first 76 permanently affordable homes there. A reopened mental health clinic and an affordable dental clinic. Over $500,000 in state funds for violence prevention. Over $1 million in infrastructure for Benito Juarez Community Academy. Ward Night every Tuesday, including through the pandemic.
He is running for a third term because the work is not finished. Tax the rich, fund the schools, and give property tax relief to working families: the 3 percent millionaire surcharge that Illinois voters already approved at the ballot box. Full-day pre-K and after-school programs instead of hundreds of millions for a stadium. Rent stabilization and the Protect Renters Ordinance. An elected school board that governs. A reopened Department of the Environment. Street vendors who can work without a misdemeanor arrest turning into a deportation. A ward office that answers to neighbors and not to developers. Powerful interests will never stop Byron from standing with you and our community.
Byron earned his Bachelor's in Mathematics and Business Administration from Cumberland University and his Master's in Economics from the University of Illinois at Chicago. He lives in Pilsen with his wife, Loreen, their triplets, a dog, and two cats.

One of Three No Votes on the Parking Meter SaleUno de los tres votos en contra de la venta de los parquímetros
On September 29, 2026, City Council approved the $2.53 billion sale of the parking meter concession 46 to 3, and Byron was one of the three no votes.El 29 de septiembre de 2026, el Concejo Municipal aprobó 46 a 3 la venta de la concesión de los parquímetros por $2,530 millones, y Byron fue uno de los tres votos en contra.
The Ward Is a Different Story
Byron ran for Congress as an independent this year. Neighbors filed more than double the signatures the law demanded of him, the machine's lawyers challenged them, and an electoral board struck his name from the November ballot. He is contesting that rule in federal court, and he is home, running for the ward he has served since 2019.
They can object to a petition. They cannot object to a neighbor's ballot.
