To remind the world that we don't have a real Senator.

Worth reading just for learning the awesome phrase “subnational polities.” That’s the name of my next punk band.

And I’m a native but had totally forgotten that Jesse Jackson was a shadow Senator in the 90s.

None. Shadow “senators” are a joke. Student council members typically have more authority and responsibility.

Which was a neat trick for someone who has been a Chicago resident for over 50 years.
