Ald. Marty Quinn (13) has served as alderman since 2011 and served as an aide to indicted former Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan. Quinn handily won reelection in 2019 against his opponent David Krupa with 86 percent of the vote, though Krupa filed a civil rights lawsuit against Quinn and Madigan ahead of the election, accusing them of trying to strong-arm him off the ballot. Krupa filed a defamation suit against Quinn and the Chicago Teachers Union as well.

In 2020, former Chicago Inspector General Joseph Ferguson accused Quinn of putting his and Madigan’s names on an instrument meant to blast graffiti, which Ferguson called a “prohibited political activity.”
