Ald. Harry Osterman, 48th Ward, appears on “Chicago Tonight” in October 2016.

A close ally of Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Osterman is the chair of the City Council’s Housing and Real Estate Committee. Osterman said his decision not to seek another term in office after 11 years on the City Council and 11 years in the Illinois House representing Chicago’s North Side came with “confidence the path we are on as a community. Over the last decade, we have moved our community forward in positive and transformative ways.”
