Cunningham a political force for the city of Waukegan

Dec 2007

Samuel D. Cunningham (Delta Zeta '86) currently serving as Alderman for the city of Waukegan, IL has proven to be an effective leader and a strong voice for the citizens of the 1st  Ward. During his first term as Alderman, crime in the 1st Ward community decreased by 17% due to an increase in community policing.  Recognizing the link between criminal activities and irresponsible landlords, Cunningham made sure that Code Enforcement Officers enforced ordinances that help rid our city of abandoned buildings through the demolition process, eliminating drug houses and ridding our community of problem landlords.  Alderman Cunningham ensured appropriated funding so needed repairs were completed for streets and sidewalks in the 1st Ward.
