Biography: Nicole Tasha Smith was born to impoverished parents on the south side of Chicago in 1980. When she was 12, she witnessed the murder of her father due to gang violence, and vowed to honor his legacy by doing everything she could to prevent gang violence in Chicago. She got a full-ride scholarship to University of Chicago for her excellent academic work, and double majored in sociology and criminology. Her original intent was to become a crime scene investigator, but she gained an interest in politics in her last few years of college.
When she graduated, she became active in local political campaigns, canvassing for Democrats. In 2008, at age 27, she was chosen to manage a Democratic campaign for mayor of Chicago. In 2010, on the suggestion of many of her peers, she ran for state senate and won, representing the district she grew up in. In 2014 she ran for the House of Representatives for the Illinois 7th district, and won a close race for the Democratic primary, and then the general election by a landslide. In 2016, she supported Walton for president but remained a member of the Democratic Party.
Other Info: She leans very progressive in most aspects, but is a strong proponent of the death penalty.
