Evanston is divided into nine wards, but make no mistake — all wards are not the same. Residents in each ward have vastly different backgrounds and interests. Much of Northwestern sits in the 7th Ward, but a lot of off-campus students reside in the 1st and 5th Wards as well.

The residents of Evanston are brimming with passion and often fill the room at local government meetings. The city prides itself on diversity and equity, but some residents also say the city struggles with a “Not in My Backyard” mindset.
Who represents you?
The Evanston City Council consists of the mayor and nine aldermen, with one alderman elected to represent each ward: Mayor Steve Hagerty, Judy Fiske (1st), Peter Braithwaite (2nd), Melissa Wynne (3rd), Donald Wilson (4th), Robin Rue Simmons (5th), Thomas Suffredin (6th), Eleanor Revelle (7th), Ann Rainey (8th) and Cicely Fleming (9th).

But your alderman could change as soon as 2021. The city hosts aldermanic elections every four years, and the aldermanic primaries are set to begin in March.
Notably, Rainey, who has served as an alderman since 1997, won by a slim majority (just 15 votes!) in the last election cycle. In recent months, her stance against defunding the police has been met with significant criticism from youth activists and may even cost her this upcoming election.
