Chicago City Gov't: Moderately unhappy in general, unhappy with my Alderman specifically.

Illinois State Gov't: Very happy. Pritzker is amazing and I hope he doesn't run for president because we need him here for a few more years to keep cleaning up these messes. I'm very unhappy with my State Representative specifically, but he runs unopposed in both primary and general so my options are limited. And by "unopposed" I mean he's the stepson of my Alderman, the Alderman whose wife held the State Rep seat previously, and it's a whole nepotism / Machine thing.

US Federal Gov't: Very unhappy. You've read the news, you know why.
