Michael Rabbitt for Democratic Committeeperson - 45th Ward

Looking forward to tonight’s event and hearing from everyone! See you at 6:30 pm, Windsor Tavern.

Michael Rabbitt, New 45th Ward Democratic Committeeperson, To Host Community Input Session Rabbitt, a longtime Edgebrook resident, won the 45th Ward Democratic Committee race in March. He wants to "reimagine" the role and get neighbors more involved.

I'm excited to announce that I will be the next Democratic Committeeperson of the 45th Ward! With 100% of precincts reporting, including most vote by mail ballots, we lead by 634 votes, 54-46%.

I'm honored by this outcome and grateful for this opportunity to lead Democrats in our ward for the next four years.

I'd like to thank Joe Cook for his service as 41st Ward Democratic Committeeperson the past four years, as well as his service to our nation as a major in the U.S. Air Force JAG Corps and his volunteer work in our community.

This victory is due to our amazing team that organized our canvasses, fundraisers, postcard writing, phone banking, meet and greet events, and other campaign activities. Our volunteers and I knocked on 23,000 doors all across the ward, and we personally talked to many voters multiple times.

I'm also extremely grateful for the endorsements and support of Congresswoman Delia Ramirez and State Rep. Lindsey LaPointe, as well as the endorsements of organizations such as United Northwest Side (UNS), Northside Democracy for America (NDFA), The People's Lobby, Cook County College Teachers Union, and others. Lindsey and UNS in particular provided extraordinary support for our campaign, and we could not have won without their tireless efforts.

Stay tuned for more information in the near future on how you can get involved with the new 45th Ward Democratic organization we will be building. Together, we will create a diverse, inclusive, and accessible group that works for Democrats in 45.

Thank you all for being a part of this movement to bring new, ethical, and active leadership to the 45th ward!

With gratitude,

Michael
