Nine candidates are squaring off in a contentious race to become Chicago's next mayor.
King said the most common concern she hears from constituents is about public safety.
King also wants to bring back retired officers in a similar model to New York City, which has 4,000 retired police that fill in during surge times.Ald. Sophia King joins Good Day Chicago to lay out the pillars of her mayoral campaign and talk about what separates her from a crowded pool of candidates.
Illinois state representative and mayoral candidate Kam Buckner talks about his plan for fighting crime in Chicago, and how the current administration has stifled progress for local businesses."I'm running for mayor because we cannot wait a day longer for a safe and just Chicago for all of us. Now is the time to invest in Chicago's schools and its future to give our children more pathways to success," Buckner said at his announcement.
Buckner spoke to the City Club of Chicago on Jan. 26 about bringing more economic activity downtown and fixing the CTA, once extremely reliable, now plagued by dysfunction. Millionaire businessman Willie Wilson was the first candidate of the remaining nine to announce his entry into the Chicago mayoral race last April.
Four years ago, Wilson won 13 of 18 Black wards on the strength of his charitable giving. In the runoff that followed, Lightfoot won all of those wards — and all 50 wards citywide — after Wilson endorsed her over County Board President Toni Preckwinkle.
