Conyears-Ervin is running for the seat held for more than 25 years by U.S. Rep. Danny Davis. Activist Kina Collins also expected to run again.
Chicago Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin is running for Congress against longtime U.S. Rep. Danny Davis while she continues to face fallout from recently revealed allegations of unethical conduct in her administration from two former top aides. A former state representative first elected city treasurer in 2019, Conyears-Ervin was a prominent Davis supporter in 2022 when the incumbent faced a strong challenge from anti-violence activist Kina Collins.
” Conyears-Ervin, who declined a Tribune interview request, is betting voters in the district will be drawn to her life story, having been raised by a single mother and ignore the allegations. She has not been charged with any wrongdoing. “As a working mother born on the South Side, raised on the West Side, and raising my daughter on the West Side, I know how hard the people of the 7th District work every day,” she said in a statement Friday.
