Both Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson were asked to address topics impacting the quality of life in communities of color.
"The majority of politicians, you hear the stories and everything they do leading up to the point to get them elected and then when they get elected, we rarely feel them in our community. I want someone we can actually feel, whether it be Vallas or Johnson," said fellow Chicago voter, Darrell Whitlock.
Each candidate had their own individual 30-minute question and answer session. The discussion included a range of topics, including community investment, education, immigration and public safety.That issue was top of mind for 21-year-old Miracle Boyd, who is voting in her first election for Chicago mayor.
"When we talk about public safety, it's always about reducing crime and involving more police in our communities that are already overly saturated with police presence," Boyd said.These two groups mostly stayed home during the general election in February, but are needed by these candidates if they expect to win.
