“As I have throughout my legal career, my public service chairing the Chicago Zoning Board of Appeals and my time as a grassroots organizer, I will be an advocate and consensus builder as

alderman,” Knudsen said I bring a passion for private sector results to public service and am honored to have a new way to give back to the community I call home.”
