Happy New Year!

Since I filed to run for Alderman in the 6th Ward, I’ve been asked nearly every day—“Why are you running?”

My answer is simple: I’m running to help build and lead a community of value.

A community of value means your opinions are solicited and respected—and not just in times of crisis. I believe deeply that involvement brings connection and personal satisfaction well beyond the routine city services we expect.

Dear Sixth Ward Residents and All of Evanston,

I am running for Sixth Ward Alderman and I am asking for your support. I am excited about the upcoming campaign and the chance that we all have to reshape our City Council on April 7, 2009.

Friends and Neighbors,

My name is John Zbesko and my family has lived at 1120 Noyes St. for over 20 years. Today, I am a candidate for 7th Ward Alderman.
