Ford wins 7th, beats big money
By BILL DWYER Contributing Reporter
As boxer Mike Tyson famously said, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.”
When La Shawn Ford got punched in
the face — or more aptly, hit below the belt — by a multi-million dollar attack ad campaign by cryptocur rency interests, he hit back. But he stayed on plan. He had insisted since last fall that his campaign strategy was not to raise millions of dollars and car pet the neighborhoods with
mailers, but to focus on the people he has met in the 7th Cong ressional District, and rely on a network of political allies to bring in the vote beyond his 8th State House district power base

OSHA nes Austin bakery for safety violations
Federal agency cites issues in Alpha Baking’s Austin and Hermosa bakeries
By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) cited Austin-based Alpha Baking for safety issues at its Austin bakery at 5001 W. Polk St., and its bakery in the Hermosa neighborhood, at 4545 W. Lyndale St.
According to OSHA, the Austin bakery was cited for three repeat and three serious safety violations alle gedly uncovered last year. The agency also flagged an incident in September 2025 at the Hermosa bakery, where a worker alle gedly broke his arm while working on the production line. OSHA announced the citations on March 16. Alpha Baking has 15 days to either pay the fines and address the issues, request a conference with OSHA or contest the findings with the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. The company indicated to Austin Weekly News that it is cooperating with OSHA
Alpha Baking was founded in 1979, though many of the bakeries it acquired date back much further than that. Most notably, it purchased Mary Ann Baking Company, the creator of the classic Chicago style poppy seed hot dog bun. Alpha Baking is currently the corporate parent of S. Rosen’s Baking Company, which has been baking Jewish hearth rye breads and variety rolls since 1909. It also owns Natural Ovens Bakery, Kreamo, Golden Hearth, and Castle brands.
Alpha Baking has three bakeries in Chicago, one in La Porte, Indiana, one in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, and one in Grand Rapids, Michig an. Its website boasts 18 production lines overall.
According to OSHA, in Se ptember 2025, an employee at the Hermosa bakery had their arm broken while clearing dough from a machine on the production line T he agency records don’ t elaborate further, and don’ t mention the date of the incident – just that the re port was filed on
Se pt. 19, 2025.
The reported issues at the Austin bakery were uncovered during an investigation that opened on May 1, 2025. According to OSHA records, the issues included failure to follow proper safety procedures and practices. For example, the employees didn’t make sure that a metal shaft at the bread slicer and bagger machine wasn’t protruding too far, which meant that workers clothes could be caught in it. OSHA also fined the bakery because it alle gedly didn’t properly train employees on how to safely handle electric control panels, which led to employees getting shocked. It flagged other training issues that put employees at risk.
The fines currently total $326,276.
When reached by email, Alpha Baking spokesperson Stephanie Powell responded that “the safety and well-being of our employees is always our top priority.”
“We look forward to working with OSHA as they conduct their ongoing inquiry,” she said.

Franklin dominates eld in 8th State House primary
Credits old school door-knocking as key to a rookie win
By BILL DWYER Contributing Reporter
Real estate agent Shantel Franklin be the first ever female state representati from the 8th House District after a surprisingly strong performance in a four-candidate field in her first political race.
Franklin, 32, who also served as an aide to Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul, for six years, had 5,997 votes, near ofthe total, with around 88% of counted. Latonya Mitts was a distant second with 25.9%, followed by Jill Bush with 16.2% and John Har rell with 12.2%.
With no candidate r unning in the publican primar y, unless someone files to r un as an inde pendent, Franklin unopposed in the g eneral election in No vember and will be sworn in as state in January.
While her 20% winning margin ma have been a surprise to some, it wasn Franklin, who said her victory was the sult of old school political le g wo precincts, and networking with people
“It was important to me, as a new to not be outworked by anyone,” she sai on the day following the election.
“Building trust with voters really star ted when I gathered petitions (in August),” she said. “My strateg y was ‘get your (butt) on those doors.’ I knocked on over 25,000 doors.
“I busted up a pair of boots in the process, but that’s OK.”
“It (wasn’t) always easy,” she said. “I wanted to veer of f and have some events, but I stayed at it.” She said she’s picked up
bits of campaign wisdom from veterans like the state rep she’s replacing, La Shawn Ford (who won his 7th Congressional primary Tuesday night) and Illinois House Speaker Chris Welch. Both pols stressed the essential nature ofold school, face-toface retail politics.
BREAKING
Franklin’s near majority vote total was based on a huge vote differential in the suburbs. While Franklin led Mitts 2,516 to 2,044 in the city - an 8% difference -- she outpolled Mitts 3,481 to 1,348 in the suburbs as far south as Countryside, a 30-point margin (48.9% to 18.9%).
Franklin thanked the voters who turned out for her. She also expressed gratitude for the support offive mayors in the suburban area ofthe 8th House District, including Countryside, Hodgkins, North Riverside, LaGrange and LaGrange Pa rk.
Franklin said she’s grateful for her oponents and what they’ve done in the ommunity, specifically mentioning the v. John Har rell and his Black Men United organization, “as well as Latonya Mitts. Her mom is my alderwoman.”
“We’ re neighbors,” she said. “We’ re all after the common good.”
“I’m excited where the district is headed,” Franklin said. “I live in this district. We have a stake in this district. And I want to see this district advance.”
Asked what her to do list in Springfield includes, Franklin said af fordability and the cost ofliving are her top concerns he Housing and Appropriations committees were high on her list. And education.
“We need a fighter for education, so I’d ke to be on the education committee,” she said.
Mitts and Franklin both finished strong in fundraising. Mitts had $39,899 banked on Jan.1 and took in $46,000 through February. The last two weeks she received $25,000 from her mother’s political organization, and $10,000 from Chicago Land Operators Joint Labor-Management PAC.
Franklin got a welcome $200,000 boost in February. More than a third ofit from the Chicago Teacher’s Union, and in the last 10 days received $11,000, including donations from southern Illinois Democrat Jay Hoffman and three other House members.

FORD WINS
De ed super-PACs
from page 1
Ford said some people had urged him to reach out and connect with big money donors and spend “hours and hours” soliciting funding. He chose another way.
“I spent hours and hours connecting with people in the community,” he said. “I was just hopeful the people who voted me over the years, who saw me get up eve day and work for them, would respond and listen. I put out my record, which is to be ready, on day one, to serve.”
As expected, Ford was outraised by three rivals. Jason Freidman raised $2.5 million, Dr. Thomas Fisher raised $800,000 and Melissa Conyears-Ervin raised $620,000. Fo took in $495,000. But what he couldn’t ha planned for was contending with an unprecedented amount of outside PAC money spent both supporting his main rival Conyears-Ervin and attacking him in starkly personal terms.
In addition, Conyears-Ervin, the current Chicago city treasurer, benefitted from $4,968,000 in supportive advertising by The United Democracy Project, which is affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC
The next closest 7th Congressional District candidate in outside support advertising, Anthony Driver, had $457,000 spent by union PACs for his campaign, less than a tenth of Conyears-Ervin.
But no one in an Illinois Congressional race this primary had the amount of money spent attacking them as Ford; cryptocurrency PAC Fairshake spent $2,464,000 on two TV ads and at least one mailer.
The ads implied that Ford had been convicted of felonies related to bank fraud,
that he was part of a pattern of corruption and had engaged in a “misuse of power” as a state representative. Both Ford and current Congressman Danny K. held separate press conferences denouncing the innuendo and outright falsehoods in the ads. “It could be so damaging to my reputation,” Ford said at the time. “It could have an impact on the outcome of the election.”
Days before the election, Ford announced he had sent a cease-and-desist
order to Fairshake, demanding they stop airing the ads.
There’s no sure way to determine what if any impact the ads had, but they didn’t sink Ford’s candidacy. As the votes were tallied election night, Conyears-Ervin was able to stay slightly ahead of Ford in the city wards. With 277 of 299 precincts reporting, she had 23.8 percent, 14,543 votes, to Ford’s 23.64 percent, 14,445 votes.
But Ford took 7,720 votes in Oak Park, River Forest and much of Proviso Township, far outpacing Conyears-Ervin’s 4,462 votes, 24.4 percent to 14.1 percent.
Conyears-Ervin, was gracious in defeat.
“Tonight, I spoke with Rep. La Shawn Ford and congratulated him on his victory,” she said. “I pledged to work closely with him as city treasurer to lift up the West and South Sides and address the financial literacy gap within the Black community.”
Ford said he made the decision to stay with values he’d held through two decades in the Illinois House, “The old-time way of campaigning, knocking doors and phone calls.”
Of course, he had some things that money can’t buy, including the support of the
incumbent he sought to replace. “Danny K. Davis’s endorsement was major,” he said. He also had the backing of Speaker of the Illinois House Chris Welch, who played a key role for Ford in Proviso township.
Ford said he planned to contact each of his primary opponents and ask them to be part of a unity gathering soon, saying, “It’s very, very important those people are at the table with their ideas.”
Ford said he has consistently supported progressive goals that help his constituents. He said those goals must sometimes be tempered by patience, and that he plans to take that patient and respectful approach to Washington. Just as with voters, he said, trust is crucial in working with fellow lawmakers.
“People have to know they can trust you,” he said. “Without that trust, it’s difficult to get things done. Being a legislator for 19 years, I’ve been to Washington (D.C.) and met with leadership and rank and file. The best way to get things done is to get to know people, not go in blazing, and pushing members on progressive ideas before getting to have a relationship with them.”

Conyears-E wrests committ seat from Emma Mit
Welch rolls onto Democratic State Central C
By BILL DWYER
Contributing Reporter
Melissa Conyears-Ervin, who lost her bid for the 7th Congressional seat to La Shawn K. Ford, beat appointed incumbent state central committeewoman Emma Mitts in both Chicago and the suburbs.
Conyears-Ervin had 31% of the vote in the city to Mitt’s 28%, a 2,428 vote advantage. She widened her lead in the suburbs, with 11,028 votes to Mitt’s 8,221, giving her a total 5,265 vote advantage. Mary “May” Larry of Maywood was a distant third.
Illinois House Speaker Chris Welch took a major ste p forward in broadening his political power on Election Day with a landslide win over Oak Park Township Supervisor Tim Thomas for an open Democratic State Central Committeeman seat.
Unlike other races on the primary ballot, the committeeman race was not a head-tohead contest. Instead, voters ed to “vote Under state la and top female vote getter win election to the party office.
Melissa Conyears-Erv
Welch had more than twice as many votes in Chicago wards as Thomas, 22.24% to 9.3%. With 100% of suburban precincts reporting, Welch had 17,702 votes, a muscular 37.52%. Thomas garnered 5,486 votes.
Welch’s campaign had a carefully crafted air of inevitability since last summer. He had wasted no time lining up support in the 7th district committeeman race, announcing his candidacy and a list of nearly 20 endorsements on Aug. 31, the day Danny K. Davis for mally endorsed Ford as his replacement in Congress.
Welch soon had nearly 60 endorsements, reflecting extensive support in some 20 Chicago wards, adding to his solid power base in Proviso township. He also built a massive campaign fund for a central committeeman race.
It’s tempting to compare the contest in biblical David and Goliath terms, except that, while David’s odds were long,
$715,000 war chest, some 367 times the $1,869 Thomas had raised, according to Illinois State Board of Election records.
Welch received more than $519,000 in 46 individual contributions, including $338,060 from 11 state reps, many on his leadership team.
While the Democratic Party of Illinois did pay $95,185 for three political mailers supporting Welch in mid-February, his state central committeeman fund, on Feb. 5 sent the DPI $20,000 and his personal campaign fund, People for Emanuel “Chris” Welch, sent the DPI $100,000.
The numerous House members who sent as much as $50,000 to Team Welch for the committeeman race can expect many times that in assistance if needed from Welch’s Democrat’s for the Illinois House. In the 2024 election cycle, Welch moved $11 million to fellow Democrats through that and other committees.

Ford is likely successor to Danny Davis in 7th District
He will be a strong favorite in the Democratic district come November
By JESSIC A MORDACQ Staff Writer
La Shawn Ford is well-positioned to be the West Side’s first new congressman in nearly 30 years after winning the March 17 primary race to be the Democratic candidate in November’s general election.
In a highly contested race – there were 13 Democratic candidates on the pri-
mary ballot – Ford overcame massive outside spending in support of Melissa Conyears-Ervin, his leading opponent, and substantial PAC funds working to diminish his vote
Ford suppor ters, including current Cong ressman Danny Davis, gathered at the National Association of Letter Carriers in Bronzeville to celebrate Ford becoming the Democratic candidate for the 7th district.
Late on Election Night, unof ficial results had Ford with 23.6% of the vote Conyears-Ervin was at 20.2%.

T he crowd chanted “Get on board with Ford” before the Democratic candidate showed up around 8:30 p.m. and claimed victory.
“I want to thank all of the candidates who ran for Cong ress,” said Ford after saying he didn’t write a speech. “I lear ned a lot from each one of them. From the debates, I lear ned how to be a better congressman when I’m elected.” He said he’ d meet with other candidates to include their ideas when he reaches Washington D.C. next January.
Ford will r un against the Re publican primary winner, Chad Koppie, in November. Koppie received over 68% of a modest GOP vote T he 7th cong ressional district hasn’t had a Re publican re presentative since the 1940s
Cong ressman Danny Davis, the incumbent for the seat, introduced Ford, whom he endorsed last summer after r unning 15 times for the position.
“We want to thank the citizens of the 7th district for understanding that our interest is above that of anybody else’s,” Davis said.
“None of us are standing here without Cong ressman Davis,” said Speaker of the
Illinois House Chris Welch. “He’s mentored all of us, and he knew who to send to Washington to fight for us.”
“I pledge to all of you and to the congressman that your le gacy will be protected,” Ford said to Davis. “This campaign has always been about the people at the bottom. We’re going to unite for the people at the bottom. Not for the people with the money, but the people at the bottom.”
THE RUNNERS-UP
Melissa Conyears-Er vin
At Manny’s Deli on the Near West Side, nearly 50 people attended an Election Night party for Conyears-Ervin.
“While in the city, it is neck-and-neck, in our suburban vote, we are lagging behind,” Conyears-Ervin said. “We gave it all in this campaign. When you give your all, all you can do is trust God that He knows what’s best and will do what’s best.”
According to Ford, Conyears-Ervin called to congratulate him before 8:30 p.m. and said she looks forward to working with him. Conyears-Ervin ran the most-expensive campaign of the 7th district’s 15 candi-
dates The United Democracy Project, a super PAC af filiated with the American Israel Public Af fairs Committee, has spent over $5 million on Conyears-Ervin’s campaign, according to the New York Times.
The 7th cong ressional race has attracted $8.4 million in outside campaign funding, the second-highest amount spent on a congressional primary race in the state
Kina Collins
Collins hosted a watch party at Comedy Plex in Oak Park. Around 7:30, there were maybe two dozen people there, when Collins had about 2,200 reported votes or 12% of the vote
“Progressives could have won if we consolidated,” Collins said during the speech at her watch party around 8:30 p.m.
There were multiple progressives in the primary race and the vote was splintered. She said bringing ranked choice voting to Illinois would also be necessary for progressive candidates to succeed.
“As we are tallying up the votes, we’re seeing that progressives could have won had we consolidated,” Collins said, flanked by family on the comedy club’s stage “I’m very clear-eyed on what our next jour ney
is about: the fight for ranked choice voting, because it’s literally about the viability of this district.”
Jason Friedman
On Election Night Jason Friedman held a gathering at Salon 61 in River North. Thirty-some people attended. In the end, with votes still unof ficial, Friedman won about 7.5% of the total vote
At that time, Friedman’s communications director, Devan Keesling, said, “We’re still waiting for the numbers to come in. Until we have a definitive answer, we’re still going to remain optimistic. We can definitely say we’ve been crisscrossing the district, putting our all into this.”
“While it isn’t the result we certainly hope for, I want to be clear: the fight for this district is far from over,” Friedman said during his concession speech. “When I started this jour ney over a year ago, I wasn’t sure we’d be standing here tonight, but here we are, and I’m very grateful for each and every one of you.”

Beyond Hunger celebrates new facility groundbreaking
Charity takes over former grocer y store and gym at 6209 W. Nor th Ave.
By BRENDAN HEFFERNAN Staff Reporter
The premier hunger prevention agency for Chicago’s West Side and near western suburbs celebrated its move to its new Oak Park headquarters last week.
Beyond Hunger, which provides hun-
ger relief to people across 13 zip codes in Chicago, Oak Park, Forest Park and several other West Cook suburbs, recently received final permission from the village to take over the vacant building at 6209 W. North Ave for its food distribution operations. The charity welcomed community members inside the building on Thursday, March 19.
Designed to feel more like a grocery store than a traditional pantry, the space will improve efficiency, increase storage, and allow for greater distribution of healthy food, charity officials said last week.

RIOT FEST
Planning this year’s event
from page 1
Attendees learned about participatory budgeting for Douglass Park, upcoming events, volunteer and vendor programs, community artist showcases, internship opportunities, and ways to engage with the festival year-round
“The goal when we started this was to be the national model for engagement for what community engagement looks like at worldclass festivals and we’re not backtracking on that now. We’re pushing to move to the next level within that goal,” said Marcus Betts, Riot Fest community stakeholder lead.
Residents were invited to join a Q&A session after the presentation where they could ask questions and engage directly with organizers. The discussion broadly covered topics such as volunteer opportunities, park improvements, festival logistics, community access, and vendor participation related to events at Douglass Park and Riot Fest.
The festival footprint for Riot Fest 2026 spans from Ogden Avenue to 19th Street and California Avenue to Sacramento Boulevard, running from Sept. 8-24. Key areas of Douglass Park, including tennis and basketball courts, the football field and track and playgrounds, will remain open throughout the event. Farrar Inner Drive will be re-
occur from Sept. 8 to 17.
“Nonetheless, we did reduce the number of days the park is used, it used to be 22 and
quickly as possible, since we only have a few days before the show actually starts,” said Riot Fest director George Herrera.
Herrera noted that organizers have also worked to keep important park facilities, such as the tennis and basketball courts, accessible during festival activities, rather than including them in the event footprint as in the past. Their goal is to give the community as much access to Douglass Park as possible, while continuing to improve the efficiency of setup and operations, even when weather or other challenges aris e.
C. Lucio, executive assistant for Participatory Budgeting at the Chicago Park District explained that Douglass Park is currently undergoing a participatory budg eting process, a democratic approach that allows community members to decide how public funds are spent. The park has allocated just over $241,000 g enerated from Riot Fest ticket sales in 2024 and 2025 and is currently in the idea collection phase, which r uns through March 28. During this time, residents are encouraged to submit ideas for physical improvements to the park
“We really encourage folks to submit their ideas. It’s a great opportunity for Douglass Park. Riot Fest is actually obli-
gated to restore the park to its original condition after their events, so you can think of this funding as additional money that we can use to do many different improvements,” Lucio said.
Encouraging residents to get involved, Lucio invites people to submit their ideas online through the Chicago Park District website or attend an in-person session at Douglass Park Fieldhouse on Saturday, March 28, from 12 to 3 p.m., where staff, volunteers, and the steering committee will be available to answer questions
Riot Fest continues to spotlight local talent from North Lawndale and Little Village, featuring three bands and three mural artists in 2026, with opportunities to perfor m or create installations, receive compensation, and gain promotion and industry connections. Its paid internship program also provides hands-on experience in festival production and community initiatives, helping young people build skills and careers in live events and entertainment.
“That’s just the tip of the iceberg as we think bigger about our parks and what partnerships look like, as well as how we engage the corporate community. It’s an important step, but still just the be ginning,” Betts said.
COURTESY OF RIOT FEST
Crowds explore the grounds at Riot Fest in 2025.
Let me begin with gratitude. I am deeply thankful for the trust you have placed in me, for the support you showed throughout this campaign, and for the belief that carried us forward together. This victory belongs to the people of this district. It belongs to the families, the workers, the seniors, the young people, and the volunteers who gave their time, their energy, and their voice to something bigger than any one campaign I am honored by the responsibility you have given me, and I take it seriously. I also want to speak directly to those who did not support me in this election. Your voice matters just as much. This campaign, and this next phase, is not about who you voted for. It is about who we re present. My commitment is to the entire 7th Congressional District, and that means making sure you are heard, respected, and included in the work
ahead. I want to understand your concerns, your priorities, and what you expect from your re presentation in Washington. You have a seat at the table, and I intend to make sure that seat is real.
This election was not easy. It was shaped by millions of dollars in outside spending, with super-PACs and special interests attempting to influence the outcome of this race. That included effor ts tied to AIPAC and the crypto-funded super-PAC Fairshake. We made a different choice. We declined AIPAC funding, and we stood firm in our belief that this campaign should be accountable only to the people of this district. In Springfield, I supported ef for ts to re gulate crypto-

currency and put consumer protections in place because I believe new markets must work for people, not against them.
That was not the easiest path, but it was the right one. What we proved together is that a campaign rooted in people, not in special interests, can stand up to outside money and win. That matters because it sets the tone for how I will serve. I do not owe my position to any outside group or national organization. I owe it to you. That independence is not a slogan, it is a responsibility, and I intend to carry it with discipline and integrity. As we move forward, this campaign enters a new phase. The work now is to bring people together, to listen
more closely, and to build a coalition that reflects the full strength of this district. Our communities are diverse, our experiences are different, and our priorities are not always the same. Still, we all deserve re presentation that takes us seriously and works to deliver real results.
That includes our young people, who are looking for opportunity, for stability, and for a future they can believe in. It includes our seniors, who have earned dignity and security. It includes working families and small business owners who are navigating real economic pressure and deserve leadership that understands what they are facing. I am ready to serve, and I am ready to do the work
Thank you for your trust. Thank you for your voice.
And thank you for the opportunity to represent all of you.
