16th Ward · Chicago, IL
A Neighbor Who Gets Things Done
Peter Barnes is running for Alderman to bring real change, real resources, and real results to the 16th Ward.
Why I'm Running
The 16th Ward Deserves a Fighter
I've lived in the 16th Ward my entire life. I've watched our neighbors struggle to find good jobs, seen our streets go unrepaired, and witnessed our community's potential go untapped — not because the people here lack drive, but because they've lacked a real advocate at City Hall.
I'm running for Alderman because I believe every resident of this ward deserves access to the tools, training, and opportunities that lead to a better life. Not promises — results.
I'm not a career politician. I'm your neighbor. And I'm ready to fight for you.
Real change starts with showing up — and I'm not going anywhere.
— Peter Barnes
