Michelle A. Harris
Michelle A. Harris is the alderman of Chicago's 8th ward,[1] and chairs the Chicago City Council's rules committee.[2][3] She was raised on the south side of Chicago where she attended Chicago Vocational High School and Chicago State University.[4] Harris began her aldermanic career in 2006.[5] In 2014, she had expressed support for a proposed marijuana dispensary on 87th street[6] and by 2015 had changed her opinion on the issue.[7] Also in 2014, she was investigated by the Illinois Attorney General for violating Illinois' Open Meetings Act[8] for failure to give adequate notice that two referenda were to be on a public meetings agenda. In 2015 she "demanded" along with 14 other African American aldermen,[9] that Mayor Rahm Emmanuel fire Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy due to inefficacy in combating murders in her ward.[10]
