Lewis endorses Cook County Commissioner Jesus “Chuy” Garcia in the run for mayor of Chicago against incumbent Rahm Emanuel.
Chicago needs a mayor who has the moral courage to do what’s right for all of the city. That is why I’m throwing my full support behind Jesus ‘Chuy’ Garcia. Chuy is a committed and effective public servant and has been for the last 30 years. Chuy is a consensus builder and a man of the people.
Current 2nd Ward Alderman and mayoral challenger Bob Fioretti, along with Ald. Scott Waguespack (32nd Ward) and Ald. John Arena (45th Ward) call for an investigation over possibly illegal contributions to Rahm Emanuel’s reelection campaign.

In the old Chicago, you got a job based on who you knew. In the new Chicago, you get a job based on what you know. In the old Chicago, a government job often meant a credit card or free parking. In the new Chicago, we’ve cut those perks and put taxpayers first.
Chico, the current chairman of the Illinois Board of Education for Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn, endorses Mayor Rahm Emanuel for reelection. He formerly ran against Emanuel for mayor in the 2011 election, garnering 24 percent of the vote.
I have watched Rahm Emanuel make the tough calls. This is not an easy job. This is serious stuff. You cannot decide on one day, ‘Hey I’m going to be the mayor,’ start a campaign and off you go. It doesn’t work like that. It’s not right for the voters. We have to give people sincere, serious, tested candidates. That’s what we have in Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
Emanuel names Nicholas J. Schuler, previously deputy inspector general for schools and the department’s interim chief officer since July 1, the new inspector general to the Chicago Board of Education. Schuler’s term runs till the end of June 2018.
I’m pleased by the vote of confidence from the mayor and the board, and I look forward to continuing the great work of this office.
