Multi-millionaire opponent STILL won’t release his tax returns

We believe Chicagoans deserve a mayor that will always be straightforward. Right now, Mayor Lightfoot’s multi-millionaire opponent is refusing to release his tax returns, all while funneling millions of dollars into his own campaign for Mayor of Chicago. He’s got a bottomless bank account a…

Getting things done for Chicago

John, Chicagoans know: The best way to get things done is to roll up your sleeves and dive right in. For 30 years, previous mayors have failed to open a casino in Chicago. But thanks to hard work and persistence, we’ve succeeded! Last Wednesday, City Council voted 39-5 to approve the final…
