Giannoulias Enters Chicago Mayor’s Race With Massive Fundraising Lead
TL;DR Summary
Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias announced he’s running for Chicago mayor, posting a video and planning a formal Bronzeville launch, backed by a massive fundraising war chest (about $22 million on hand as of June) and major donors like Neil Bluhm. He joins a crowded field as the 2027 election approaches, with a platform centered on universal pre-K, higher wages, affordable housing and a fair tax system, and he says City Hall must be more competent while not naming Mayor Brandon Johnson.
