Tommy Abina is committed to providing a leadership of trust and integrity.  His over-riding goal is to make Chicago's west side attractive and affordable, create new jobs, (including ex-offenders), create after-school and recreational facilities for our children and honor our senior citizens. 

Mr. Abina, a family man, is married with four children. He has a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Business & Marketing from Northeastern  Illinois University, Chicago, IL and a Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree from Governors State University, University Park, IL.  His experience includes over fifteen (15) years of public service in both county and state government plus years in the private sector. Currently, he serves as Manager, Administrative Hearings Office in the Illinois Secretary of State.  It is life’s experiences that have helped him make good decisions and develop a common sense approach to very difficult issues. 

Tommy Abina believes we all have a common bond by virtue of being taxpayers on Chicago's west side, be it property taxes or sales taxes. Everyone should reap the benefits of working hard and paying taxes. Our strong faith must allow us to help the less fortunate and understand the harsh realities of mankind. Let us follow a path that values our precious gift of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. 

It is time to reclaim our community.
