Chicago Mayoral Election: Dueling Visions and Endorsements.

Congressman Jesus “Chuy” Garcia is expected to endorse Brandon Johnson for Chicago mayor, a big win for Johnson who is working to build a ground game in areas won by rivals in the first round. Garcia and Johnson share the same progressive supporters. Johnson and opponent Paul Vallas have been courting Garcia’s supporters, as well as Black voters who aligned with Mayor Lori Lightfoot. Meanwhile, Vallas and Johnson got snippy about who could better handle the city budget in a recent debate.
