Ameya Pawar (born April 22, 1980) is an American politician who served as the alderman for the 47th Ward of the City of Chicago.[2] He was first elected in the 2011 municipal elections, and was elected to a second term on February 24, 2015.[3] Pawar's 2015 re-election was secured with over 82% of the vote, the largest margin in the election cycle.[4] Pawar is the first Indian American and Asian American in Chicago City Council history.[5]
He was a candidate for the Democratic primary for Governor of Illinois for the 2018 election, but dropped out on October 12, 2017, citing a prohibitive lack of campaign funds.[6][7] He did not run for re-election to City Council in 2019, and instead was a candidate for City Treasurer of Chicago.[8][9] He advanced to the run-off in that election, but lost to Melissa Conyears-Earvin.
