The Path to the 33rd Ward: Rosanna Rodriguez-Sanchez on the Power of the People

In this intimate and wide ranging conversation, Chicago Alderman Rosanna Rodriguez-Sanchez opens up about the lifelong journey that led her to the City Council. She reflects deeply on her roots in Puerto Rico and the influence of her family, explaining how she has always been a political person even during the years she wasn't seeking office. By sharing the story of her upbringing, she illustrates how our personal histories and cultural identities naturally dictate the way we view justice and community. The discussion also explores her former career as a theater teacher, a chapter of her life that provided a unique perspective on communication, empathy, and the human experience. Rosanna explains how these professional roots continue to inform her work as a legislator today. This background in the arts serves as a backdrop for her firm stance on economic justice, specifically her conviction that the wealthy must be taxed much more fairly to ensure the city can provide essential services to those who need them most. Finally, the Alderman tackles the vital importance of political accountability and why it truly matters who occupies a seat of power. She argues that leadership is defined not by a title, but by a track record of tangible actions taken for the good of one’s constituents. This interview serves as a powerful reminder that politics is deeply personal and that the fight for a more equitable Chicago is built on a foundation of history, heart, and hard work.
