About Heather

Hi! I am Heather Wills and I am excited to offer myself as a candidate for your 18th Ward Alderman!

As a community organizer for over 20 years, I understand the necessity in working with people to get the job done. Collaborative efforts from the community raise the community; therefore, it is time for our community to be organized block by block and organization by organization to truly grow our community.

I am so excited to work with the residents and business owners in the 18th Ward and am looking forward to meeting you on the campaign trail!
