Cops for Public Office
Someone said there are a number of cops (and firefighters) running for city office this election.
Who are they and which office are they running for? Might as well drum up some support for them here - anything they do will probably be a step up from what exists at the moment.

Anybody running against that gerrymanding asshole, Ed Burke? He butchered Zalewski's area.
There's a Sgt in Area north saturation team running for alderman in the 36th wars against Deborah Graham the Ike Corruthers shill. This is the new 36th ward now that they carved Ald Sposato (CFD) out of the picture. The sgt is Chris Taliferro. Good guy. Deserves the support.
Lieut Garrido is running again against Ald Arena. He lost by 30 votes last time to Arena.
Napolitano running for 41st Alderman. Currently a Fireman was a prior Police Officer in 015. Good man who has my vote.
Chris Ware - mayor
Garrido is running in 45th, Anthony Napolitano, fireman and brother of P.O., running in 41st.
Not a chance, the rot is too deep.
Heard one of the VPs is being put up for an alderman spot. Heard Brock Merk, McDonough and graham crackers too. Lots of $ these guys have! Nice.....real nice
M Seiser for Mayor!
Samantha Webb is running for the 10th ward Alderman spot. Her website is http://www.webbfor10.com/
I know she has several Facebook pages as well. Please consider reaching out to her. She along with the other CPD candidates need help with their campaigns. It's a long uphill battle with little to no funds and any help is welcome from walking with her team to get signatures to be put on the ballot, to attending and organizing fund raising events. I want to wish all the CPD and CFD members the best of luck. I think its a great idea running for city council and how great would that be shaking up city hall and having folks to actually love and support the police having a voice.
Anthony Napolitano for 41st ward.
John Garrido 45th ward.
Now we start to take our city.
Police Officer Shot In Ferguson, Mo.; 2 Suspects Sought
An officer confronted two males leaving the Ferguson Community Center about 9 p.m., said St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar. The officer had been responding to a burglary, said Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson. The officer chased the men and as he approached them, shots were fired at the officer, who raised his arm and was hit in the left arm, Belmar said.
The officer's condition was not released, but Belmar said he suffered a non-life-threatening wound.

Voting for someone just because of their job is as bad as voting for someone because of the color of their skin. Look where that got us.
Sposato (CFD)is running for the new 38th Ward which is basically the old 36th after the hatchet job done because Sposato doesn't toe the emaual line. All the more reason to vote for Sposato in the 38th.
They deserve our support.
John Garrido 45th ward. Not me or my family. He has run 3 times now for different offices. He a politician in a white shirt.
Early voting starts 20 Oct 2014
Every copper that has ever read this blog better get his head out of his ass and vote.
You can vote in any location in the city right in the district or area that you work, while you are working.
Do it in uniform or jeans, just do it then bitch about the city.
Get as many of these coppers and firemen elected and save your job and pension.
Deborah Graham is the Alderman for the 29th Ward. Glad to see you are up on things.
Just to clarify its Anthony Napolitano running for 41st ward alderman, not his brother the PO Andy Napolitano. I don't want anyone to accidental shoot themselves in the foot and vote for the wrong Napolitano.
Sam Webb for the 10th ward.
About fucking time! Let's get some people in office who have actually proved they care about Chicago.
Lieut Garrido is running again against Ald Arena.
Baadda-Bing, Baadda-Boom!
Any CPD or CFD running against that idiot, Mary O'Connor? What a complete waste of space that woman is.

I live in the 36th Ward and as far as I know there are just a couple of political hack goofs running in 36. So I googled the Sgt mentioned above and he is running in the 29th Ward. Here is his facebook link: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Chris-Taliaferro-for-29th-Ward-Alderman/290830767754459
Remember that the ward borders were "realigned" so people may be in different wards now. Deliberate confusion.
Here's a little known REPUBLICAN candidate for IL Atty General, heard him on an radio interview, intelligent and very well spoken. Take a look at his credentials and biography.
www.schimpf4illinois.com
"Paul Schimp...served our country for 24 years while on active duty in the Navy and the Marine Corps."
He's running against a Madigan - he has my VOTE.
DUMP RAHM - Rauner - O'Connor (D-41st)
Yeah, enough with the convicts or those soon to become convicts in office, GO CPD!!!!
ssc that is great more police should we also need some to run for federal offices too.look what we have now shame on you bo nh eric holder both of you are haters
The Reverend and Police Officer Roger Washington is running for alderman.
Taliafero....Got merit appointment out of i.a.d. enough said. And he is a lawyer.
Freddie "Big Mac" Collins from 012 is running for Mayor.
Sean Dailey is running for water rec. Heard he was a cop
Tony Napolitano in 41st ward. He was a Ptlmn in 15 & now is a part time Ptlmn in Highwood (Lake County) as well as a Fire Fighter with CFD. Having a police/fire first responder in the City Council would be the best of both worlds for public safety questions/issues.
Cooter is running for top hillbilly of the city. He can't lose
Seiser for President
Sgt Chris Taliferro is running? He is a really good guy.
Anthony Napolitano is running for Ald. 41st Ward. He is currently CFD & a part time Ptlmn in a local PD in Lake County. He was a Ptlmn w/ CPD in 015. Having a first responder who has served as a Ptlmn & Fire Fighter would be a unique background as an Alderman. We need "working PO's & FF's" who can represent us in the City Council.

Just just like Munoz and the other drunk in Springfield, who are supposed to be all for us yet they they always vote against any pro police legislation. You mean that kinda taking back our city.
There's a half dozen jag off alderman that are former members if the CPD.
Shouldn't mean shit to anyone.
Burke was the police. Ha! For six months in a cozy spot cause he was heavy as shit. Fuck him.
Good tips. Thanks.

Go Sammy! you can do it
hey ssc im definitely supporting sgt taliferro Debbie graham is a racist hater and will turn galewood into a ghetto, also I will supporting johnning garido for ald 45th and tony nap for ald 41th ward also seiser for supt.
The first responder Nick Spasato voted as 1of 25 aldermen for $20,000,000.00 for a survivors of police torture museum on the south side. Also these survivors will get memorials placed throughout the city paying tribute to,them and the CPS curiculum will mandate teaching CPS students about police torture in the CPD .......
When will it end ? A police officer is attacked by a person that committed a felony and the law abiding citizens riot .
Now a police officer is shot for no reason by the same people . Where is the 24/7 news coverage .
Is Garrido running with Rahm now that Arena turned on Rahm?

He has run for two offices. The last (aldermanic) election was a dead heat and may have been outright stolen from him.
Arena has proven to be useless. At least Garrido stepped up. YOU didn't.

Hint for the newbie politicians focus on your pluses. City worker go to their houses and encourage them to register and or early vote.
To address the clueless 10:35 post about Chris Taliaferro, worked with Chris in 024 and he is possibly one of the kindest, most honest,intelligent and stand up people I have EVER worked with in over 20yrs. He is a GOOD MAN and would be an asset to the City Council and welcome breath of fresh air in that cesspool. I'd work with him anyday and know he had my back.
As a responsible voter, you shouldn't support them based on profession only; but it's not a reason to disqualify them either. If the candidate is qualified and has the heart to do it, how can you deny them the opportunity to try and make change? These Officers need the support of their fellow Officers. Give them a chance, see what they're about and try to support each other.GO CPD!!!
It really doesn't matter who is alderman on the northwest side. With 50 alderman 1 alderman's vote or say is meaningless to any mayor. He's got 49 others to vote his way. Cityhall doesn't pay any attention to that area. Sad but true. There is no reason for 50 alderscum.

We need to get rid of RAHM first. Vote in the cops and firemen and then get rid of RAHM
Dear dickhead
I realize you probably sit in your mamas baseman on your laptop talking shit about MSF, TRU, white shirts and alike but pay attention. Deborah Graham was the appointed alderman (by Daley) to replace The corrupt Ike Corruthers to be the alderman of the 29th ward. Nick Sposata (CFD) beat Rice who was the had picked successor to corrupt William Banks.after beating him handily, the powers that be re-drew the boundaries of the 36th ward to include most of the Austin neighborhood (29th ward - Austin) and most of the area In the 36th ward that voted for Sposato. A big FU to the police and fire that voted for Sposato. Now your alderman is Graham a f/1 whose main priority if to take care of the African Americans in Austin. You want potholed filled, Austin has killings every night where do you think her priorities will lie????
One of the guys (CPD) running agains her is A sgt for A/N named Taliferro the other is a public defender who represented the wackjob that killed Officer Francis in 019. The one that blamed Frances at trial for not waiting or his backup.
It's your choice, a hard working copper, an Ike Carrothers shill or a PD who represents cop killers but for some reason I kinda know where you are leaning.

Yes he was IAD, but he was NOT a merit appointment. He scored in the 190's. I saw the list and his ranking.
If you don't like him for being IAD, ok, but don't shoot off your mouth when you don't know what you're talking about!
Nick Sposato is useless, he went against the democratic party and can't even get a bullshit speed bump put in our alley, I walked into his office to complain about an abandoned car, and instead of taking a report on it told me next time just call the police. he thinks that going into the 38th ward he will be able to do a better job, but he won't get a thing while Rahm is in office.

He's also the one that blew the whistle on the SOS coverup and questioned Kirby as to why so many cr#'s were unfounded. Merit? Who cares. lawyer? Who cares. Graham is a seat warmer for Ike. But I'm sure THATS okay with you.

You are 100% correct. Was in the academy with Chris. Great copper, fantastic person.
Would love to see Anthony Napolitano win in the 41st
ward. Uphill against Mary O 'Conner. Not because
she has our best interests at heart, but is a typical
Dem.
So amazing how many CPD'S and CFD 'S are still so
entrenched in the 1950's Democratic macihine.
When is the "Penney going to drop?
Demand that FOP endorse Anthony Napolitano in the 41 St against that worthless Police hater Mary OConnor. He was the real POLICE and a real FIREMAN. He s a member of FOP. Ask OConnor why a couple of years back, she had a sign in her window, if you need LINK come in. This liberal bitch would like to see 41 look like the West side. Doherty might of had his faults, but he is head over heals better than OConnor. Talk to your neighbors about Anthony, walk your block. If the cops do their job, he will be elected. Get rd of her now, before the ward is fucked up for good.
Chris Talifero is a great guy.. Worked with in in several districts. I would vote for him in a heartbeat!! Intelligent and cares about where he lives and the people who work with him. Best thing is he also works in the district where he lives! Great guy, vote for him please
Burke was a cop for three years. He worked midnights guarding city hall while he went to law school. After graduating and passing the bar it wad adios amigos .

I didn't vote her last time, but she has done a hell of a lotI around this ward. 10 times what the drunk before her accomplished in his long reign! I've heard various descriptions of her and I don't care what her personality or physical appearance is. What I care about is that if I send an email to her, it is answered within hours. When I call for forestry, streets & san, water dept, they are here the NEXT day!!!
If someone can give me a GOOD reason not to give her my vote, I will listen. The copper's running better have a clear mandate because she has done a pretty good job repairing and upkeeping everything except the damn potholes on the side streets.
If you vote for a candidate just because he/she is a copper, you are certainly not giving much thought to the issue. Their day job did not prepare them for politics any more than anyone else. If they present a clear, concise plan that they have for the ward, and can point out reasons to not vote for O'Connor, I'm all ears.
The Donahue and Dougherty group were in bed with the Democrats for years. Fran Hurley was their pick for the South Side State Rep position. Markie mark's kid worked summers in Laski's office before he was indicted.
You should NOT vote for someone just because he is a cop! Many po's forgot where they came from and became politian's just like Donahue. Mark signed in in support of taking pension benefits away from park district employees when that bill was at committee. Why? Mark says he made a mistake. No one born after 1955 (including Mark) gets a 3% single cola any more either. That was his mistake. He was working the State Fop bill for portability when he should have been pushing our C.O.L.A. bill.
Many state rep's will spend the whole day with the fop on a given day and then still vote against us in support of Madigan. They do not want to suffer the fury of Madigan's intimidation.
Vote for a cop? Yes as a tie braker. But not if he votes against us.

Question: Relatively new Lt. Garrido made it to sweet 016 on a phone call, not the bid. Who made the phone call that put him there and why? Was that a political move, or just a pal wanting him over there?
I'll get the facts fucked up,but basically last election?, a Sgt who lives in 022 was trying to run against the 19th ward endorsed hack for whatever spot and I don't think he even made it to the ballot.
Sgt. Joe Bird I believe.
A Republican woman from Worth Township(Ann?), who initiated "Scott's Law" got trounced by a 19th ward hack(Joyce or Hynes) in another race.
Keep voting them dems in people.They only care about you at election time.

41st - alderman O'Connor - has no respect for the police. Her bullsh** flunkies in her office lie to everyone that calls and then nothing gets done. Not one pothole from this past winter has been fixed - every side street is a mess. Started some sewer work this past month (oh, right before election - what a surprise). After election we won't get another service for another 4 years.
When was the last time you saw a police car drive down your block - yet call O'Connor's office and they will tell you 016 is fully staffed.
O'Connor also voted with Rahm for the parking meters - & now we are inundated with meter maids because we actually pay our fines.
What has O'Connor done for the 41st Ward with her million dollar stipend?
Please - anyone else but O'Connor.

Chicago First, a group that's supporting aldermen who will be loyal to Emanuel are going to back Michelle Baert in the 45th Ward race.
The remap will make it more difficult for Garrido to win. First obstacle is making it to the runoff and getting Baert out in the 1st round.
Who would Chicago First back if it's Arena and Garrido in the runoff? Not sure about that, but I know that Emanuel wants Arena out.
Voting for someone just because of their job is as bad as voting for someone because of the color of their skin. Look where that got us..............
Well duh maybe because of their job they might put us first for a change and have our best interest. Can't be any worst ,reason enough.? It's deeper than just their job, come on now wake up.
I'm voting for the candidate that pushes to remove the cameras
John Garrido is not a bad guy. He is smart. He is a lawyer. He likes the working police. Good Luck during your run.
He's also the one that blew the whistle on the SOS coverup and questioned Kirby as to why so many cr#'s were unfounded.
9/28/2014 10:03:00 PM
You are so full of shit! He had NOTHING to do with the SOS stuff. Maybe after the fact he asked some questions, out of the chain of command, but there was so much going on behind the scenes that he would have absolutely NO knowledge of. Just stop the bullshit. Maybe he'll do a good job, but making shit up for his resume' isn't going to be very productive.

Vote for Joe Lamonto. Will be running against O'Connor in the 41st Ward. Joe is not CPD or CFD but is a huge supporter of the police and fire. He's also against Rahm on many levels and will do a great job. He's a successful business owner and is a great guy overall. Ask around. People in the community know him as "hardware Joe". Don't vote for someone just because he or she is the police. That doesn't mean they'll do a great job at being alderman. Vote for the guy who will get things done in the 41st ward and most importantly get rid of O'Connor.

Enjoy the methadone clinic, senior center, and new apartments that are more like SRO's that Arena wants in JP. When you're stuck in traffic in a single file lane on N. Milwaukee avenue, remember that you got even with Rahm.
Lt. Garrido is a good man. He worked in 025. Chris Talafero is a good man also.

Arena defamed John Garrido to win office in 2011 with the SEIU's help.
Like the methadone clinic, "senior" housing, new apartments in Jeff park that are going to be the size of an SRO, and don't forget about the influx of section 8.
Have fun at the Fringe Festival asshat.
O'Connor is a lock. 41st Ward is light years ahead of where it was under Doherty.Hate to break it to readers, I know plenty of level- headed cops and fire that are just fine with her.
Napolitano is a nice guy who is in way over his head. No money, no real support, no chance. Being helped by Coconate...draw your own conclusions.
Garrido has no realistic path to victory in 45 and also has a shit ton of debt. What's he going to do, campaign on hating or opposing Rahm more? I'm sure that will work.
Heather Sattler, the COO of the 100 Club of Chicago is running for alderman in 38 against Sposato.
While she is not a police or fire, there is no better friend to police and fire than the 100 Club.
I expect she will shake things up.
I did a search on "Garrido" just in this blog, and saw comments about him from all of his various political runs - it's enough for me to not vote for him just because he is CPD. If Baert is being backed by that Rahm PAC, it's an automatic no vote from me. Why not keep Arena in, he is a thorn in the side of Rahm and actually votes against most of the crap being rubber-stamped by the rest of the city council.
Arena's signed onto Rahm's agenda about the bikes and pedestrian garbage with CDOT. He might take out two lanes of traffic on Milwaukee Avenue to make it more pedestrian and bike friendly. City of big shoulders? City of simpletons who can't cross the street.
He stopped a Dunkin Donuts from having a drive thru by Six Corners. That would have been a nice addition to the neighborhood. It was not to be because Arena didn't want it. Cost the business owner a small fortune. But Arena did it for the children.
He reminds me of Helen Schiller and that isn't compliment. She brought a lot of garbage into uptown to stay in power.
The tenth ward candidate, Webb has worked inside her whole career. She didn't mind having Christmas and weekends off while the rest of us gave up that time to work a job we were hired to do. I'm convinced this is a way for her to continue taking care of Webb.
Taliaferro is having Carrothers run his campaign Associating with a felon. Nice.
