Why are you running for this office? What makes you the best candidate? Across Chicago, families are suffering from shootings and violence, education cutbacks and a lack of opportunity. I believe it is time to set a new course for our city, and I am the best qualified candidate for the job. I have extensive experience in elected office, as a Committeeman (22), Alderman (22), State Senator (1), and Cook County Commissioner (7). My leadership style would represent a drastic departure from the current mayor’s top-down approach.
