“With the race for Chicago mayor a little less than a year away, some candidates have started rolling out ads announcing their candidacy—as well as attacking their opponents.
In the past few weeks, several candidates have come forward to challenge incumbent Mayor Rahm Emanuel, including former Chicago Police Department Superintendent Garry McCarthy, who was fired by Emanuel after the Laquan McDonald shooting video was released in November 2015; Willie Wilson, who campaigned against Emanuel in the 2015 election; and former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas.
This year’s race will be more heated than in years past, said Nick Kachiroubas, associate teaching professor in the School of Public Service at DePaul University.”
