Meet Alderwoman Monique Scott

As a native of North Lawndale, Alderwoman Monique L. Scott strives to continue building a better Westside for the hardworking and compassionate residents of the 24th Ward who deserve nothing less than a public servant who is dedicated to their needs. Alderwoman Scott graduated from Whitney M. Young Magnet High School and earned a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Marketing from Jackson State University and a Master’s of Business Administration degree from National Louis University.

Alderwoman Scott’s passion for the 24th ward runs deep, as she has spent her life and career developing relationships with residents of the community, which were built on the foundation of her parents, the late Michael Scott, Sr. and Millicent Scott, who were both prominent leaders in the city of Chicago. Growing up in a family of strong leaders, Alderwoman Scott is committed to building a successful community.

Upon taking office, Alderwoman Scott served as a park supervisor for the Chicago Park District, where she improved public facilities and managed a team of employees who were dedicated to putting community residents first. During her time at the Chicago Park District, she engaged residents and created community-building programming.

Now, through her service as Alderwoman, she will continue to implement the same programs and engage residents, so that she can create spaces in the community where residents can feel safe, supported, and heard.

Together, we are building a stronger 24th Ward.
