For over 8 years, Trayon has a voting history that can be examined, and he also happens to have multiple incidents outside of the Wilson Building that have received national attention.
His ‘elephants in the room’ weren’t directly discussed during any of his primaries. Maybe it was because his opponents were afraid of getting their cars vandalized again.
The most important subject to critique is his legislative outcomes, which have their separate pages on my Platform page from 2020. The other categories I review are incidents that occurred while he was acting as a Ward 8 representative and general comments on his personal life, which may reflect in his public life.

Finally, something related to his legislative concerns that is especially concerning is how he co-sponsored legislation to increase his campaign funding and excerpt himself from engaging his opponents. The Fair Elections concern is here.
Here is a table summarizing his personal scandals and other minor concerns:
| Incident | Trayon’s Explanation | Reasonable person’s comment (mine) |
| Arrested by FBI on Federal Bribery Charges | none yet | He took money from a contractor to operate an ineffective program: Violence Interrupters. |
| Didn’t submit documentation to Office of Campaign Finance, and owes them $57,000. | “no comment”- said at AARP forum, blamed his treasurer elsewhere. | He’s bad with money. |
| Globalist influences on UDC during Mayor’s breakfast | (unknown to me) | Overshadowed by the weather video |
| Commented that Rothchilds create weather to oppress voters | Claims he didn’t know it was popular Anti-Semitic Theory | He should research before he live streams. |
| Sent check to Nation Of Islam event in Chicago | NOI people serve locally | Incident #3 demonstrating that he doesn’t know or care about marginalized groups of which he doesn’t personally associate. |
| His car was used to hit another car | He didn’t know his friend borrowed it | His ‘friends’ are dangerous, the one who took it didn’t have a license. |

| Ignored Rabbi Herzfeld’s cries during another breakfast | (unknown to me) | Actively ignores the voices that he’s oppressing |
| Uses tax payer money to fund campaign and refuses to debate (2020) | Claims corporate interests are too great in politics | He should debate his fellow candidates to ensure Ward 8 has a effective communicator representing them. |
