We're coming for those seats.
Listen, Chicago , it's going to take all of us to save this city.
The political machine is already preparing for the next mayoral race, and they're going to promise you everything they could have already done while they're in office right now.
Most of the people talking about running for mayor already hold elected office. They vote on budgets, approve spending, and have access to information the public doesn't.
So where were they when crime was rising, businesses were leaving, taxes were increasing, and Chicago's finances were being mismanaged?
Many of them helped create the problems they're now promising to fix.
Chicago cannot keep playing musical chairs with the same political insiders and expect different results.
Take Lincoln Yards. In 2019, City Council approved a TIF projected at up to $900 million. Some analyses estimate the total commitment could reach approximately $1.3 billion when financing costs are included.
Now it's 2026.
How much has been spent? What has been completed? What return have taxpayers received? Who benefited?
And here's what I don't understand. Susan Mendoza wants to now criticize Brandon Johnson over TIF spending, but she's been in office for years too.
Susan Mendoza is the Illinois Comptroller. Her office's responsibility includes processing and issuing state payments authorized by law. If things were so broken, where was the alarm years ago?
Why are so many politicians suddenly discovering problems when campaign season is approaching, and their planning on running for Mayor?
Chicago doesn't need another machine candidate. Chicago doesn't need another insider moving to a different seat.
Chicago needs accountability. Chicago needs transparency. Chicago needs real change.
Chicago needs.
