From WSJopinion: Party affiliation is about the only thing the candidates in Chicago’s mayor race have in common, writesjasonrileywsj
Journal Editorial Report: One candidate is calling for more police and charter schools. Images: AP Composite: Mark KellyDemocratic mayors have run Chicago exclusively since 1931. That streak will continue no matter who wins the runoff election on April 4 because the candidates, Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson, are both Democrats.
The good news for voters in the nation’s third-largest city is that they nevertheless have two clear choices on the ballot. Party affiliation is about the only thing the candidates have in common. Mr. Vallas is a white moderate backed by the police union. Mr. Johnson is a black progressive backed by the teachers union. Mr. Vallas has run hard on restoring public safety in a city that saw crime continue to rise in 2022 and that has long been the poster child for big-city mayhem.
