NATHAN BEN MYERS

49^th WARD DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEEMAN

Hi Neighbor,

Ben here. In a nutshell, this is why I want to be the Democratic Committeeman for our ward:

As a lifelong resident of Rogers Park and a member of the Democratic Party, I have the desire to actively encourage election of government leaders that best reflect the needs and wishes of the people here in Rogers Park.

Last year, when I ran in the aldermanic race, I supported our now Mayor, Rahm Emanuel. As Committeeman, I would continue to endorse and support election of Democratic officials who have in mind the best interests of the people here in this highly diverse area of Chicago.

Turns out, I run the local food pantry on the south side of the ward over on Clark and Arthur. We are open every Saturday morning. I tend to meet a lot of our locals. Many of the people I meet are folks who could use a job. Any kind of job; in fact, a temporary, just for the moment job, is what some of these folks need most, something to see them through until a real job in their field opens up. I’d like to give some of these folks some of these small ward-related jobs as time and availability allow. This is just one small way in which my election as Democratic Committeeman for the 49^th Ward would benefit our community.

I have an educational background in law and business, as well as experience as a developer in Rogers Park. You can count on this as well as my experience in organizing volunteers and work programs to place me in good standing to perform this job well.
