ALDERMAN BYRON SIGCHO LOPEZ who

was elected to the Chicago City Council in April 2019. Byron came to the United States as an immigrant when he was 17 years old. Before serving as Alderman, Byron worked as a teacher and researcher for 10 years, founding the bilingual adult education program at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). He holds a Bachelors in Mathematics and Business Administration from Cumberland University, a Masters in Economics and is currently a PhD candidate in the field of Urban Education Policy at UIC. He lives in Pilsen with his wife Loreen and their three children. The photo was taken in front of St. Adalbert’s Catholic Church in Pilsen. Both are fighting to make sure this historically Polish church is not demolished.
