The 50th Ward is my home. I raised my family here. My parents live here, and my friends are all just a quick walk from my front door. I care deeply about the welfare of this community, and I have dedicated myself towards improving it since you elected me Alderman in 2011. I commit to keep on fighting for the future of this neighborhood. We will make our community a safe place to live, with easy access to city services, and a friendly face in City Hall. If we work together, the 50th Ward will continue to be the greatest neighborhood in Chicago and the envy of the rest of the city.
Where does Debra Silverstein stand on the issues?

Economic Development & Growth
“Debra makes the economic health of the neighborhood a priority and protects our small businesses.”
Infrastructure
“Our local businesses need safe streets that allow shoppers to browse their wares. Highlights of Debra’s terms have been a multi-million dollar Streetscape project on Devon Avenue that brought wider sidewalks, beautiful lighting, and benches to the central business district. In recent years, Howard Street has also undergone a Streetscape transformation and Touhy Avenue has received pedestrian-friendly lighting.”

Law Enforcement & First Responders
“Debra has always been a partner to the police in keeping the 50th Ward safe. She believes that we need more officers on the streets and that we are all served when law enforcement officials have the resources they need to do their jobs. She works closely with the local commanders and with the police leadership to make sure the 50th Ward stays a safe place to live, work, and raise a family.”
Small Business & Local Business Support
“The 50th Ward has some of the most unique and amazing businesses in the City of Chicago. Business owners all know that Debra is there to support them. Whether it is help getting permits or applying for grants to improve their storefronts, they know she is always just a phone call away.”
