Asian-Americans push for more political representation on city council and more.
Chicago could soon have its first majority Asian American ward. That's the hope of many community leaders who want to see Chinatown and the surrounding area included in a single ward as part of the city council's once-a-decade remap. And, they're calling for Asian American communities in Albany Park, West Ridge, and Uptown to stay together in their respective wards.
