Illinois Senator Dick Durbin has endorsed Paul Vallas, former CEO of Chicago Public Schools, in the Chicago mayoral runoff race. Durbin praised Vallas as a "thoughtful leader" who can strengthen Chicago's economy and create jobs. Vallas is running against Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson, with both candidates having different approaches to public safety. Durbin's endorsement comes just a week before the runoff election on April 4.
