Joe From Chicago


Here’s Joe, from Chicago, steppin down LakeShore Drive

Here’s Joe, from Chicago, I’ll give him my high-five

He’s got a plan, oh yeah, he’s our guy for alderman

Oh Joe, you gotta know, he’ll really get things done


Chorus

From the cool and blue Lake Michigan, to the taqueria up on Clark

We’ll get off the L at Argyle Street and stroll through Margate Park


Here’s Joe, from Chicago, steppin down DuSable Drive

Here’s Joe, from Chicago, I’ll give him my high-five

He’s got a plan, oh yeah, he’s our guy for alderman

Oh Joe, you gotta know, he’ll really get things done

 

Dunne has been endorsed by Alderman Harry Osterman, 48th, former State Senator Heather Steans, 7th, former Alderman Mary Ann Smith, 48th, the Chicago Federation of Labor, the Chicago Laborers’ District Council, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 134 and the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150 and 399.


Dunne lives in the Edgewater home his parents bought and in which he was raised. He now lives there with his wife, Jennifer, and their three children; Bridget, 15, Molly, 13, and Joe, 11.  JoeDunneFor48.com
