Drake Warren joins a growing coalition of community leaders, policy advocates, and civic organizations backing Gilsenan’s vision for the 32nd Ward, including key endorsements from Abundant Housing Illinois and the 19th Police District Councilors, who all agree it is time for transformative, progressive change in the ward.
