Chicago Aldermanic Candidate Surveys: Rey Colon (35th Ward)

Neighbors Project is a 501(c)3 so we can in no way endorse or indicate a preference for any particular candidates. But we can help you learn more about the people vying for your votes by sharing the responses we're getting to the survey we sent out to all aldermanic candidates in the city. As part of an ongoing series, we'll post the uncensored responses of each survey as we receive them. Find out what ward you're in here.
