For the last 12 years, I have been very fortunate to have Dan Luna working alongside me as my Chief of Staff. Dan’s leadership and collaborative, community-minded spirit has impacted every block in our neighborhood in a positive way.

I am excited to share about his transition to the role of Chief of Staff to Alderman-elect Bill Conway in the new 34th Ward. Dan will be helping Alderman-elect Conway start a new ward office in a newly created ward in the Downtown and West Loop area.

Dan’s experience in the 47th and 48th Wards make him uniquely qualified to take on this exciting new challenge. We know that he will be successful in his new role and we wish him and Alderman-elect Conway all the best!
