In Chicago where I met Paul Wellstone. I think I was a Chicago DSA member by then. But there was still talk about fusion in the lower end elected positions like school board and alderman.

Besides the Harold Washington party there hasn't been a strong 3rd party that I recall in Chicagoland recently.
