ALDERMAN ANTHONY NAPOLITANO
"It is such a pleasure serving as your Alderman. I am a lifelong resident of the 41st Ward. My wife and I believe that this is the best place to raise our three children. The 41st Ward is home to hard-working families, active senior citizens, top-rated schools and a flourishing business community. We take pride in our neighborhoods and are vested in maintaining their safety, growth and charm. We’ve made great strides over the last three years and I hope to have your support to continue our success and be your voice in the City Council."
