ARTEAGA RESPONDS TO FALSE ALLEGATIONS

The race in the 23rd Ward has just reached a new low. Recently a mailer went out alleging that I have a history of domestic violence. I want to say flat out that these allegations are LIES. This is a desperate attempt by Alderman Zalewski who is scared of losing his seat and he is using lies of domestic violence as a political tactic. I have ZERO convictions on my record. Period! Alderman Zalewski's mailing does not address stopping domestic violence in the ward, he’s just playing DIRTY POLITICS. Zalewski accepts campaign contributions from 4-hour motels allowing these motels to continue there predatory practices on women. These motels have been linked to bring human trafficking, drugs, and prostitution to our community for decades. (http://www.elections.il.gov…) My wife Michelle, is a law enforcement officer, and we understand the seriousness of domestic violence. As for my ex-wife, I feel bad that she allowed herself to be used as a political football. To the last of my knowledge she worked with Zalewski as a lobbyist for Hawthorne Race Course. (www.ilsos.gov/lobbyistsearch).

This a horrible attempt to paint a successful Latino man as wife beater and criminal. I am a man of God, I’m educated, and I am proud to be an example for the youth of this community. By no means am I perfect, however I am a God fearing family man and I would be very proud to represent the diverse 23rd Ward.

In the interest of transparency, I have attached official state records that show the Zalewski and Melgoza connection.  I am also disclosing my police record that shows that I have ZERO convictions! Period!  Lets move this community forward!
