Bushra Amiwala BiographyBushra Amiwala is a Skokie native and daughter of immigrants who truly appreciates diversity in its many beautiful forms. As communities across our nation - the working poor, religious and ethnic minorities, and young changemakers who are ignored by political establishments, to name a few - are pushed aside, Bushra is a committed voice for underrepresented citizens. She seeks to ensure that our nation’s future is in good hands by building a compassionate, politically engaged generation.
In the summer of 2016, Bushra served as a head intern for then-Senator Mark Kirk. Bushra is a Democrat but sought to build empathy with the Republican Party and to understand their stances on issues. Earnestly lending her skills to a Republican campaign showed Bushra that respect for differing opinions is the only way to preserve American ideals. As the 2016 presidential election loomed, Bushra was surprised to learn that many of her peers would be casting a ballot for the candidate she felt was running a campaign on hateful rhetoric. A champion of change, Bushra sprang into action: she would run for office herself. We need fresh, diverse ideas at all levels of government and Bushra wants to spearhead this change.
Cook County needs Bushra’s bold perspective. The only way to initiate long term change is to collaborate with both sides, and she knows exactly how to do this. She hopes her politics appeal to the moderate Republican as well as the liberal Democrat.
Bushra has conducted independent research in segregated Chicagoland neighborhoods to better understand housing discrimination, redlining, and gentrification. Most recently she worked with Northside Power, canvassing to increase education funding. Knocking on doors in the cold days leading up to the election, tirelessly working to ensure this legislation was passed, Bushra decided to devote her life to making civic engagement accessible to every American. She engages with her community daily and sees first-hand how diverse ideas are rarely present when shaping policy. She seeks to reinvigorate elected bodies by challenging them to confront real issues and will bring this much-needed representation to the Cook County Board.
