Environmental issues have long plagued the 10th Ward, but Peter Chico and Ana Guajardo, who both vie to represent the ward, also said public safety is the issue of most concern for residents.

Right: 10th Ward candidate Peter Chico receives a hug from Betty Lonkar as he meets and greets residents at the Senior Suites of Hegewisch in Chicago, on March 16, 2023.
Chico and Guajardo made the April 4 runoff out of the five candidates in the Feb. 28 general election. None of the five won a majority of the vote, forcing the runoff between the top two vote-getters. Chico garnered 40.5% of the vote in February while Guajardo got 26.5%, or about 1,000 fewer votes than Chico, but she’s been steadily beating Chico in fundraising.
Ozinga’s yearslong plans call for blasting and excavating the rock to build an underground warehouse development. The company has been trying to get community support by touting the development’s environmental friendliness, just as advocates have pushed the city to deny permits Ozinga is seeking and others say more information is needed.
Similarly, Guajardo stressed the importance of listening to ward residents and their environmental and public health concerns. She mentioned many in the community suffer from asthma, including her, due to the high levels of pollution in the area.
