Thank you

John, Thank you. Thank you all so much. We were fierce competitors for these last few months but I will be rooting and praying for our next Mayor to deliver for the people of this city for years to come. Four years ago, I looked into the camera and spoke directly to young people of color …

Wednesday morning

John, Two days from now, we’ll wake up after this election and ask ourselves one thing, “Did we leave it all out on the field?” I am so proud of this team and I know personally that I’ve poured my entire heart and soul into being the best mayor I can be for our city. But I also know that o…

Have you seen this?

John, There are a lot of ads on the air right now because my opponents are spending millions of dollars -- mostly attacking me and my record. So in the final days of this race, let me make sure I set the record straight. Brandon Johnson recklessly called to slash the budget of the Chicago…

Time is running out

John, Right now, our opponents are piling on the attack ads against Lori. They’re threatened by Lori because they know that she’s leading this race. But if our opponents continue to flood the airwaves with their messages unanswered, we’ll never stand a chance. Help us fight back by donati…

John, It’s hard to believe, but we are less than one week away from Election Day and we are down to the final, most consequential days of our campaign. The polls are close, and we’ve known from the beginning this race would come down to the wire. With multiple candidates flooding the airwa…

It’s too close

John, Recent polls are showing that this race is incredibly close. Right now, we’re in the fight of our lives and several of our opponents have connections to special interests, ties to corruption, or a dangerous history of supporting Republican policies. As your mayor, I’ve worked hard…

My opponent doesn’t know what party he belongs to

Paul Vallas is campaigning with FOP President John Catanzara

Paul Vallas was SILENT when it mattered the most:
