Don't let Paul Vallas sell Chicago's schools to the highest bidder.

Tomorrow, let's join together and vote for fully funded public schools for all Chicago families.

NEW: This is one of the most important races of 2023.

Public school teacher Brandon Johnson is running for Chicago mayor against Paul Vallas, who has decimated public schools across the U.S.

Support from Republican mega-donors has Vallas on the verge of victory.

[Brandon Johnson @Brandon4Chicago]

Republican Paul Vallas is trying to deceive Chicagoans. The truth is Paul Vallas has cozied up to Republican leaders and donors for over a decade.

Follow along Paul Vallas’ long Republican road:

I entered the race for mayor of Chicago knowing two things for certain about our movement:

No one is going to outwork us.

And no one is going to out-organize us.
