Just days after securing a win in his reelection bid to Congress, Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia (D-Ill.) has announced that he will be running for mayor of Chicago.
In a campaign video released on Thursday morning before formally announcing his run for mayor, Garcia highlighted challenges like racial unrest, inflation, and the COVID-19 pandemic facing the city. The Democrat insisted that Chicagoans are “calling out for help.” Issues like unemployment, affordable housing, and crime have created “so much uncertainty” ahead, he said.
