The 11th Ward is one of the 50 aldermanic wards with representation in the City Council of Chicago, Illinois. It is broken into 38 election precincts.[1] Five Mayors of Chicago have come from this ward: Edward Joseph Kelly, Martin H. Kennelly, Richard J. Daley, Michael A. Bilandic and Richard M. Daley.[2]
The ward has had notable levels of political corruption.[3][4][5] It is home to the headquarters of the so-called Daley machine and the 11th ward "...had by far the highest number of trucking firms benefitting from the City of Chicago's Hired Truck Program".[6]
