Unfortunately, the local government has changed with the times and needs of the community. The time is now to change the 50th for the better. "The 50th ward needs a new direction", said Khan, "As alderman I can build bridges for new opportunities. The 50th Ward represents many diverse cultures, religions and ethnicities that are found all around the City that need true representation." said Khan. "I'm running a grassroots campaign for City Council because I believe that the only way to solve the problems facing our Ward is through an open, honest government working in close collaboration with all communities bringing them together to help." "My work experience has spanned the greater Chicagoland area and surrounding suburbs. I have worked in interfaith and multicultural platforms and made efforts towards building bridges. I have seen the needs of communities first hand and made efforts towards making sure available resources are provided. I feel it is a responsibility to take my experiences and skills developed as a professional community activist and organizer and bring them to serve my ward and City. I want to bring my successful endeavors in uniting communities to work together for the common good to the 50th ward of Chicago. The 50th ward needs a new, fresh direction. It is time for change in the 50th ward and the time is now."
