Supporting and promoting civic engagement is a core part of the Great Cities Institute's and the Political Science Department's mission at the University of Illinois Chicago.  

Dick Simpson, a 2005-2006 GCI Scholar, Professor and Head of Political Science at UIC, and former Chicago Alderman has compiled sources of current information on Chicago Politics. These resources include links to research papers, books, videos, Chicago City Council and Anti-Corruption Reports with current data on how council members have voted, and information from other city and independent sources on Chicago Politics.
