Dan has got little or nothing to do with this outside of his last name why drag that into this ?
That district was originally the 5th. The “Lip” as he was known was an alderman and ward committeeman of the 23rd ward when took that district from Mr Bingo John Fary it was the 5th. Fary who was from the McKinley Park area had a tavern there. Wasn’t happy at his his loss. After I believe the 90 census there was a remap and completely changed the areas and was turned into the 3rd. Ted was the only democrat who voted against allowing Males to compete in girls collegiate sports activities. A FR member also ran for the 5th she got a 40%
Good Lord Your Right ! When I went into those precincts I never used the guys first name enough to get corrected. Actually I don’t believe in creating political dynasties When the Lip pulled that off I was ticked off. The old man William O started out as a member of the 23rd ward Republican organization but as alderman he had city parks named after Revolutionary war battles After he beat Fary and became congressman we did manage to get a Republican elected as alderman and while in congress he did work with Reagan. The ward carried Reagan that’s why they cut it up
