As progressives gather in Chicago, Brandon Johnson’s election and state’s social policies celebrated
Mayor Brandon Johnson serves appetizers in solidarity with Chicago’s tipped workers and One Fair Wage during a reception on July 13, 2023, at the Netroots Nation progressive conference at the Hilton Chicago.
“Every policy decision that has really made people mad at Kim Foxx was rooted in Colette Payne’s story,” Foxx said. “I recognize America has a problem and it’s not Colette Payne, but the systems put in place to hold you back.

Johnson said that while the city faces many challenges, “there are forces that are working hard every single day” to promote a negative narrative about Chicago.
Johnson said his mayoral victory was a demonstration for progressives that “this multicultural, intergenerational movement has propelled us into this moment where we don’t have to shrink and we don’t have to hide from our values. We can actually run on our principles and values and win.” The Netroots event took place a little more than a year before Chicago plays host in August 2024 to the DNC at the United Center that will see some of the same progressives some back to town along with hundreds of other national Democrats.
