With Lori Lightfoot ousted, Chicago’s mayor seat is up for grabs in a Democratic Party runoff election between Brandon Johnson and police union-backed candidate Paul Vallas. A former public school teacher backed by a wide grassroots coalition, Johnson has soared in the polls in recent months as a serious challenger to the Democratic establishment in a city where the party machine has dominated for generations. With questions of public safety and police violence at the center of Chicago’s politics, Johnson’s platform seeks to address the conjoined problems of violence and police domination of the city’s budget and politics. TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with Brandon Johnson directly to learn more about his plan to overcome Chicago’s multifaceted challenges, and build a future for all in the Windy City.

Read Brandon Johnson’s blueprint plenty of crime defunding police everything free for migrants raiding city pensions for a bank enjoy
Lightfoot was probably the worst Mayor in history but this new Mayor Brandon is going to try hard to take that honor away from her ,well those silly people who elected him will sure get what they deserve since ever those socialistic democrats went soft on crime and their lack of incarceration and punishment of criminals, crimes increased many times over and the only people dumber than those crooked woke loving socialistic democrats are the fools who are electing them Congratulation Walmart you did the right thing
He just told people to not condemn people terrorizing the city. His excuse is they are teens. This guys speaks like a shady preacher
This Brother is bringing the changes as long as he STANDS ON HIS VISION, be inclusive, while also firm on listening to his students
And that narrative fell apart, didn't it? He is going to make it worse by defending rioters and thugs.
So why are the "clearance rate" below 17% in black and brown neighborhoods? What magic wand gets waived in none black and brown neighborhoods that magically solves crimes? What exactly are the reasons?
More like destroy Chicago he only cares about himself and wants anarchy to destroy what’s left of Chicago.
He’s no different than that crook Lori Lightfoot.
He’s already supporting Looters.
I'm gonna save Chicago!
Well that aged well 😂😂 Shitcago gets what it votes for
His plan is to spend money Chicago does not have, line his own pockets, and drive all the money and businesses out.
If you want a city to go down the toilet. Just put liberals in charge . Every city run by blks is garbage now. What's wrong saying what you see?
Brandon will destroy Chicago with his anti police and schools stance. Chicago will be no more.
I’m an Independent Latino. Don’t hold you breath. Lightfoot 2.0 doesn’t understand Chicago. No Bueno
Hes sold out to teachers unions
Can't😅 fix stupid
By bankrupting Chicago
Another paid shill.
Crime in Chicago didn't start with Lightfoot. Crime in Chicago started YEARS AGO under a mayor that sat in the seat for more than 20 years. The media isn't and hasn't told the truth about what's happening in Chicago.
Paul Vallas lost the election because:
– He's a closet Republican
– Doesn't even live in Chicago…he's claimed a home in south suburban Palos Heights as his legal permanent residence since 2009
– He decimated public education systems across the country, including CHICAGO, and even in other countries like Haiti and Chile
– His top campaign supporters include major Republican donors and Trump supporters
Brandon Johnson is a admitted racist. Good luck Chicago glad I don't live there.
