I attended the Taste of Polonia Holy Mass this Morning. It was a great way to spend time with so many Polish Catholics. Thank you to my friend Father Ted Dzieszko for his kind words.
After the disruption over the weekend, we visited neighbors whose streets were taken over by this dangerous new movement of street takeovers. Once reserved for Lower Wacker Drive, it’s now happening all over the city.
Bridgeport spoke loud and clear today. Dropping an Amtrak rail yard in the middle of this neighborhood is a massive mistake for local health and small businesses. We’re not backing down on this.
Dolly Parton's family asked that, in lieu of flowers, fans make a donation to the singer's Imagination Library.
Here's what the charity does ⬇️

Imagination Library has 40k followers, but should have MORE. If you can't donate in Dolly's honor, then we could at least help grow the platform and its visibility by following.
Chicago potholes are out of control. Tell us about the worst craters in your neighborhood through the number above so we can map them out and hear your concerns.
The first day of school should remind us who our public schools exist to serve: Chicago's children.
Our kids deserve vibrant classrooms, high academic standards, real accountability, and an education that prepares them to succeed in life.
I want to wish all Chicago school children, their parents, and the teachers and administrators a terrific first day of school--and hoping for their best year ever.
Chicago politicians and the media are trying to convince Chicagoans that crime is way down. But that's not what I hear on the campaign trail. Crime is the top issue for Chicago voters--and I won't let anyone downplay what's happening in the city.

I had a lively interview with @fspielman today.
We agreed on some things, disagreed on others. I even had to correct the record a time or two.
But that's what makes this process fun. Always a pleasure to get in the arena with a Chicago media legend.

@RebeccaJoy211@fspielman It was a great conversation that touched on the issues Chicagoans care about. I'm grateful to @fspielman for talking to me for over an hour.
Chicago mayoral candidate John Kelly says he's a “problem solver” who can help Chicago live up to its nickname as “a city that works.”
He joined “Chicago Tonight” to discuss his qualifications and the ethical considerations of his campaign.

I always love spending time on Taylor Street, especially for Little Italy Festa. Great people, great food, and a lot of good conversations today.

On the campaign trail today with hubby in Chicago. We hit Ukrainian Village Fest and Taylor Street Little Italy Fest. Met so many great people and collected lots of signatures on petitions 😎
We even ran into our friend @susanamendoza10 who also is campaigning for mayor. Nothing like a friendly rivalry ☺️

.@Giannoulias has spent years in public office, his record reflects too many failures to convince Chicagoans he's up for the job of leading our city.
Chicago doesn't need more career politicians who represent the status quo—we need real leadership.
.@jkellyformayor has the vision, backbone, and commitment to public safety, accountability, and economic growth that Chicago desperately needs. He's the candidate who can help turn this city around.

I had a great conversation on The Ray Stevens Show about the issues that matter most to Chicagoans—from restoring public safety to bringing businesses back to our city.
As your next mayor, I'm committed to putting Chicago first with common-sense leadership, safer neighborhoods, and a stronger economy.
