Congressman Jesus 'Chuy' Garcia is expected to announce run for Chicago mayor Thursday at Navy Pier. Lori Lightfoot is also running for reelection.
He's expected to make the announcement Thursday alongside local elected officials, community advocates and neighbors.More than a dozen others have already announced that they are running to be Chicago's next mayor.
ABC7 Chicago political analyst Laura Washington said, with Garcia safely having a seat in Congress, this is a prime opportunity to run for Chicago mayor."Garcia has a very safe seat. He will remain popular. He'll be a little bit dented if he loses, but people won't blame him for trying, so this is a win-win for him. Why not run and see where it takes him?" Washington said.
Eleven of the other mayoral candidates discussed solutions to some of the city's most pressing issues, like crime, education and homelessness during a forum on the North Side Wednesday night. Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson, another one of the candidates, was endorsed by the Chicago Teachers Union, and another one of the state's largest unions.Copyright © 2022 WLS-TV.
