He is the alderman-elect of the city's 40th ward and will take office as a member of the Chicago City Council in May 2019.[1][2] He won election to that office after defeating 36-year incumbent Patrick O'Connor in the 2019 Chicago aldermanic elections. Vasquez is a member of the Chicago chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America.[3] Early life, education, and careerVasquez was born in Chicago,{{When|date=April 2019}} and attended Lane Technical College Prep High School.[3][4] He received a bachelor's degree in English/Language Arts Teacher Education from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2000 and an associate degree in business administration and management from Kaplan University in 2014.[5][6] As of 2019, he held a position as a marketing account manager at AT&T.[1] Hip-hop careerDuring the late 1990s and early 2000s, Vasquez performed as a hip-hop artist under the stage name Prime, a reference to the fictional character Optimus Prime.[4][7] He first became involved in battle rap during his time at Lane Tech High School in the early 1990s, and later became a member of the underground hip-hop collective Molemen.[4] He also toured with the hip-hop group Atmosphere and appeared on MTV's Direct Effect and HBO's Blaze Battle. He ended his career as a rapper in 2010.[4] Vasquez's career as a rapper later became the subject of controversy during his 2019 campaign for Chicago City Council, when his opponent criticized him for using misogynistic and homophobic lyrics.[7] Vasquez apologized for the lyrics, saying that "As a person who felt inadequate in my own skin, I thought denigrating others would make me feel bigger and there is no excuse for that."[8] Early political careerVasquez became involved in electoral politics during the 2016 presidential election as a supporter of Bernie Sanders.[4] As of 2019, he was the chair of the north side chapter of Reclaim Chicago, a progressive political action committee.[4] In May 2018, Vasquez officially kicked off his campaign for alderman of Chicago's 40th ward.[9] He was one of five candidates who appeared on the ballot in the first-round election on February 26, 2019, where he placed second with about 20 of the vote.[10] Since no candidate received more than half of the vote, he and 36-year incumbent Patrick J. O'Connor advanced to a run-off election held on April 2. Vasquez defeated O'Connor in that election, receiving 54% of the vote.[1] Chicago City Council (2019–present)Vasquez will take office as a member of Chicago City Council on May 20, 2019.
