The 10th ward is deserving of Change
There’s nothing more iconic than the bridges in the 10th Ward, and it is important to know that these bridges are meant to unite us. Óscar’s vision of a safe, healthy and thriving community is meant to include everyone. Our Core Values are the acting guidelines that will ensure the voices of our community are included as the shared vision for the 10th Ward comes to fruition.
Óscar understands the need to invest in our youth as they are our future. A student’s geographical residence, income, or racial status should not determine whether they have the opportunity to succeed academically. As a product of the Chicago Public Schools, Óscar understands the struggles public education faces and will do everything in his power to ensure schools are fully funded and adequately resourced to provide students with the quality education they deserve.

As the cost of living rises, we must proactively address the needs of our residents and establish safety nets to ensure safe and affordable housing for all. Óscar believes we deserve policies that will enable safe homes and a healthy environment for community members. Housing is a human right and we must commit to protecting the needs of residents ahead of any and all capital gains.

The Southeast Side has historically been home to industrial developments and is overwhelmed with decades of legacy pollution that impacts the air that residents breathe, the soil in our backyards, and water that floods our streets. For far too long the 10th Ward has been the City’s dumping ground and that needs to change. Óscar believes we must advocate for protections that put our resident’s health and livelihoods above economic profit and will fight to ensure the wellness of the community by advancing policies that address environmental injustices.
