A hand count of the last outstanding precinct in the 49th Ward on Tuesday confirmed 49th Ward Alderman Joe Moore’s re-election. The final count placed Moore 247 votes ahead of his opponent, Don Gordon, giving Moore 51.6% of the votes to Gordon’s 48.4%.
“I want to thank the voters who took part in yesterday’s election for our victory, and I look forward to representing everyone in my community for another four years whether they voted for me or my opponent,” Moore said.
Moore ran his re-election campaign on the promise to fight for a new living wage ordinance and to reform the Chicago City Council. Moore was re-elected by the same wave of progressive voting that produced a dramatic change in the composition of the Chicago City Council. “Chicago voters clearly voted for a progressive, independent government on Tuesday. I plan to make sure that they get it,” Moore said
