Bobby Rush
Congressman
Though his life has taken him from the Army to the Black Panther Party to the U.S. House, Rush, a cancer survivor, finds inspiration close to home. “As I look around and think about all the people I met, I would have to say my Chicago hero is my wife,” he says. “She epitomizes not only the beauty of Chicago, but also the toughness of Chicago.”—Scott Smith
Rush is up for reelection this year against Republican Antoine Members.
