For 100 years, this resident’s family has built and maintained multiple properties in Evanston. Their roots run deep—their first home was built in this city exactly a century ago. Yet, for years, they’ve battled against eminent domain and been ignored by city leadership.
At the Evanston Decides 2025 Candidate Forum, they finally had enough—confronting Mayor Daniel Biss face-to-face in a moment of pure frustration and raw truth.
The question is: Who actually listened? Who showed real compassion—the incumbent mayor who has overseen this resident’s fight, or his challenger, Jeff Boarini? Did Mayor Daniel Biss offer an apology to the resident?
This is not just politics—this is about the future of longtime Evanston families.
Watch the full 10-minute clip and decide for yourself.
