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]
The current alderperson for the 11th ward is Nicole Lee.
Before 2021, alderpersons were formally known as "aldermen". [7]

From the creation of the district in 1863 until 1923, it was represented by two aldermen elected to two-year terms. Elections were staggered.
