About this Article

Last May, when longtime West Chicago alderman Ruben Pineda was appointed to replace the late Mike Kwasman, he became the city's first Hispanic mayor. Pineda said being Hispanic, in a town in which more than 51 percent of its 27,000 residents are also Hispanic, certainly hasn't hurt his cause but in a recent Daily Herald endorsement interview, each of three mayoral candidates discussed the importance of Hispanic leadership.
