Pols were busy last night, bouncing between fundraisers for Comptroller Darlene Green and Alderman (and yet unannounced candidate for Aldermanic President) Lewis Reed. Labels: Alderman_Races, Fundraising
Fatigue and a too long neglected personal life wouldn't allow PUB DEF to photograph the events, but the following details were pieced together from sources in attendance.
Reed's fundraiser was hosted by the Gate District neighborhood organization at the home of its president, Mr. Steve Zeiger. And while Reed made no formal announcement of his future plans, it was clearly understood by all what endeavor the night's donations would be going to.
State Rep. Robin Wright Jones made that very clear when she introduced Reed to the crowd as "the next President of the Board."
Others spotted in the crowd included Aldermen Donna Baringer (16th Ward), Freeman Bosley, Sr. (3rd Ward), Dionne Flowers (2nd Ward), Jennifer Florida (15th Ward), Stephen Gregali (14th Ward), and Mike McMillan (19th Ward). Even former Ald. Kenny Jones came out to support his old colleague.
Committeeman Patrick Cacchione and former Congressional Aide Kacie Starr Triplett, both candidates looking to be the next alderman from the 6th Ward, were also in attendance.
Not too far away, in Forest Park, Comptroller Green was raising some cash of her own.
Spotted in the park's Norman K. Probstein Golf Center were former Mayor Freeman Bosley, Jr., Aldermen Mike McMillan (busy man) and Frank Williamson (26th Ward), soon-to-be State Rep. Jamilah Nasheed (60th District), and Marlene Davis, the frontrunner to be the next alderman from the 19th Ward.

Nia needs to get a job herself or at least finish her degree from Harris Stowe.

Come on anon, stop the hate. With all the energy you've put into dissing Nia (yeah, that was you commenting on Nia's "Francis the Bald" and Mike McMillan statement also), it must be impossible for you to sleep at night. Let it go.......she let "him" go. She moved on. Come on, exhale.
