Edwin Eisendrath Biography

Edwin Eisendrath is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on February 3, 1958 in Chicago, Chicago, United States. At age 29, he ran for alderman in Chicago’s 43rd ward to succeed the retiring Martin J. Oberman. The race, between him and attorney Robert Perkins was dubbed by observers as the Battle of the Blue Bloods as both young candidates came from wealthy, well connected families. As an alderman, he backed the ward map proposed by Richard M. Daley in a referendum. The referendum, an oddity, was a choice between two maps, but in lieu of the actual maps, voters were asked to choose a map based on a list of alderman that supported each respective map. He also backed reforming Chicago Public Schools.

In October 1993, he resigned as alderman to become the administrator for the Region V office of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in Chicago, one of HUD’s largest and busiest. He formerly served as Vice President of Academic Affairs for Kendall College but resigned the position in

2007. He sought the Democratic nomination for Governor of Illinois in 2006 but was defeated in the primary by incumbent governor Rod Blagojevich. From 2007 to 2017, he was an international business consultant with a focus on global higher education.

In January 2018, he hired Mark Konkol as executive editor of then-Sun-Times- owned Chicago Reader Konkol and Eisendrath soon published an issue with racist cover. Without taking responsibility himself, Eisendrath fired Konkol. Later in 2018, the Sun-Times board took action and accepted Eisendrath’s resignation as CEO.

He ran for Congress in Illinois’s 9th congressional district in the 1990 Democratic primary election against longtime incumbent Sid Yates. Eisendrath ran an anti-incumbent campaign focused on Yates’ long tenure in the United States House of Representatives. Eisendrath lost in a landslide.
