Maurilio has worked for a small market research and brand strategy firm for the last decade translating people’s needs and pain points into data-backed action plans for high profile clients. His projects have spanned across socially impactful subjects, including helping those living with HIV receive diagnoses & treatment to evaluating the value fraternities may or may not bring to a college campus. He is passionate about listening to what people experience and believe and does so via non-traditional communication methods like online surveys and focus groups.
He discovered his passion for helping his community by founding a pro-bono initiative through his employer that grants local Chicago non-profit organizations $50k worth of services to help better their community. This initiative is in its 5th year of existence and has already granted hundreds of thousands of dollars in assistance.
As a Mexican-American and coming from a family of immigrants, he intends to fight for and proudly represent marginalized communities in his district. Maurilio’s goal is to work to ensure that all 19th District residents’ feel supported by their community and that their experiences with policing are positive and productive.- We must modernize our public safety approach by advocating to expand emergency services to include mental health crisis teams, drug addiction treatment programs, and domestic violence and homelessness response providers.
- We seek to improve police transparency and accountability by seeking progress reports on court-ordered consent decree reforms like annual in-service training, data collection, and community engagement.
- It is imperative we promote responsible, effective, and fair policing by hiring more therapists, maintaining officer days off, and offering more training, all to allow officers to perform to the best of their ability.
