Thank you for visiting the 46th Ward Democrats website. The 46th Ward Democrats are proud to be a leading progressive voice in the City of Chicago.

Over the past few years we have organized thousands of local Democrats to participate in campaign and community service activities.

We played a leading role in President Obama’s nomination by sending volunteers to key primary states including Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, South Carolina and Wisconsin. Our 46th ward office, working in conjunction with other northside wards, helped mobilize over 4,000 volunteers to travel to Iowa for the Obama campaign during the fall of 2008.

We celebrated President Obama’s inauguration in 2009 by recruiting hundreds of local volunteers to make meals for the homeless and donate canned goods to neighborhood charities.

During the 2010 campaign cycle we have hosted prominent elected officials including Governor Pat Quinn and Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky for discussions with ward voters on heath care and other key issues. We worked to bring the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, former Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, to the northside to educate Democratic volunteers about how they can participate in this year’s Congressional elections.

Please take the time to read our most recent political update and sign up to receive future updates, which will include important volunteer opportunities.

The 2010 and 2011 elections are shaping up to be critical for the future of the 46th ward. We hope you will join us as we work to shape the future of our community.

Sincerely,

Tom Sharpe, 46th Ward Democratic Committeeman
