Chicago Database is Alive
The Chicago wing of the Sunshine Database went live last week and has already garnered positive reviews. Data on all candidates for citywide and Aldermanic office, plus the most active ward organizations, is now at your fingertips, sorted, standardized and coded. Come see what The Beachwood Reporter called "a huge favor" for City residents by visiting our homepage.
