Priorities

Positions

Approach: Gutiérrez frequently moves motions, requests remote participation under Rule 59, and asks procedural questions, such as about ward-office time-keeping systems S20 S23 S24. She also introduces resolutions and speaks on topics ranging from immigration to public safety, often delivering remarks that highlight her personal heritage and community concerns.

What to watch: Given her past advocacy for DACA and other immigration measures, she is likely to remain active on immigration and refugee-rights legislation S7 S9; her bid-incentive filing suggests continued focus on job-creation and economic-development initiatives L2.
