Welcome to Windy City Democrat!

Windy City Democrat is your online home for bold insight and unconventional views on Chicago's news and politics from inside and outside the machine.  Unlike so many of Chicago's traditional media outlets, WCD is always fiercely independent, unabashedly skeptical, and uncontrolled by commercial interests.

No one owns us.

We hope you'll be part of the debate and discussion on this site.  Check back often because our news and views will be coming at you fresh daily.
