“I honestly believe the office is in dire need of some reform. We can fix that last corner of corruption in the circuit court race.”
-Ricardo Muñoz

The youngest member of the City Council when he first joined the body in 1993, Alderman Ricardo Muñoz has earned a reputation as one of the most serious and effective council members. Alderman Muñoz was one of the original City Council sponsors of the historic Chicago Living Wage legislation that requires city contractors pay employees a salary that is high enough to support a family. He helped lead a citywide, multi-racial coalition of labor, community, and religious organizations to victory when on July 29, 1998 the Chicago City Council finally passed the Living Wage Ordinance. Muñoz was first appointed by the Mayor to the City Council in 1993 to complete the term of Jesus Garcia, his former boss and a popular member of the coalition led by Mayor Washington. Since that time, Muñoz has won re-election by ever-increasing margins.

MISSION
My entire career I have been fighting bureaucracies in making them work together. My entire career has basically helped me to run for office effectively, efficiently, and save the tax payers some money. If elected, my priority will be to implement electronic filing that will help save money and bring order to the office circuit court clerk.
