Challenging Hadden are Bill Morton, president of the Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce, and entrepreneur and former Rogers Park Business Alliance board president Belia Rodriguez.
Morton has focused his campaign on economic development including retaining and attracting local businesses, an infrastructure plan involving proactively searching for issues such as potholes and graffiti and fixing them right away, and addressing the homelessness crisis in Rogers Park – among other issues.
at the Loyola University Crown Center last week, the candidates were questioned among other things about a controversial affordable housing development at Howard and Paulina streets near the Chicago Transit Authority Red Line terminal.Rodriguez said affordable housing should be spread more evenly throughout Rogers Park rather than concentrated on Howard Street.
Hadden said more funding is needed to expand services and keep people from losing their homes – and the area will continue to see people going unsheltered as long as those services are underfunded. One of the most bizarre Rogers Park political sagas of the past several months involved the Touhy Park homeless encampment. None of the aldermanic candidates were involved, but two of their names were invoked.
