Support for Jessica

  • Alderperson Pat Dowell, 3rd Ward

    “Throughout her tenure as principal at Burke Elementary School, Jessica showed consistent leadership to the Bronzeville community. Not only did she move the school off probation, but she engaged students, staff, parents and the entire community in important and meaningful ways. I know she will bring the same collaborative and tenacious spirit grounded in what’s best for kids and community to our newly-elected school board. For these reasons, I am proud to endorse Jessica in District 6.”

  • Alderperson Lamont Robinson, 4th Ward

    “I had the honor of working with Jessica when I was newly-elected as the 5th District State Representative. Her leadership in the community deeply impressed me. I will never forget meeting Jessica and her students on Earth Day at a vacant lot she helped transform into a community garden. She was a collaborative and righteous leader then, and she continues to be a transformative and communty-driven leader today. I am eager to work with her as a member of our elected school board and happily endorse her in District 6.”
