Theresa Mah’s Campaign Makes History in Chicago

The night before the Illinois primaries, Theresa Mah’s staff is busy in her campaign office, preparing boxes, making phone calls, and clicking away at their keyboards. Meanwhile, Mah and I take a ride to Chinatown. She is on her way to speak at a family association spring banquet. Chinatown is in the district for which, if elected, Mah would serve as state representative, along with other nearby Chicago neighborhoods.
