Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Ald. Chris Taliaferro aims to keep things running smoothly in the 29th Ward, but he relies on his staff for help. Pam Moore has been working to do that.

Moore, 53, is Taliaferro’s chief of staff; she took the position shortly after Taliaferro was elected to the position in May of last year.

Prior to taking on the job, she was a community liaison for Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office. She traveled throughout the state educating people on the role of Madigan’s office and its resources for the public.

Now, she works to make sure the alderman’s office runs as smooth as possible.
