Buckner

Kam Buckner, a state representative from Chicago and self-proclaimed “transit geek” who has sponsored the bill in the House, told me it’s both a good policy and a necessary show of intent.

It’s why self-professed “extroverted introvert” Buckner felt comfortable signing up for her first season in the spring of 2022.

Buckner is a singer in Landlights’ Valley group, marking her seventh season in the choir.

After years of relying on friendships formed through her husband, 37-year-old Carole Buckner developed a community of her own that has kept her rejoining the choir each season.

Husband Edward is dying of cancer; her only son, Buckner, is a feckless alcoholic; and her youngest daughter, Jewell, is a bartender who hustles vacationers in home garage poker games while dreaming of a big win in Vegas.
