I have been fortunate to serve as the 6th Ward Alderman myself, as
well as two terms as Mayor of Evanston, so I know what it takes to
handle this job. That’s why I believe Mark is the best-qualified
candidate.
– Jay Lytle

I got to know Mark during his many years as Board Chair of BEHIV. I
have always been impressed by his problem-solving abilities and his
tireless efforts to find common ground and build consensus. Mark will
provide extraordinary leadership for Evanston’s 6th Ward. I hope you
will vote “Tendam for Alderman” on April 7.
– Jan Schakowsky

Mark Tendam: Why I’m running.

Tuesday, February 10, 2009, at 8:19 pm by Mark Tendam

Time has come to change the way we manage our City.

In this time of economic crisis, Evanston and the 6th Ward need strategic leadership. We need a City Council that thinks creatively, works collaboratively and focuses all of its energies on keeping our City safe, secure and vibrant. We must reject the notion that we can limp from budget to budget, line item to line item and elect a Council that is capable of managing the present in a way that ensures our future. We must also plan for the day when the economic crisis allows us to return to a more normal way of life in this city.
