'Let's get back to work': Chicago Mayor Lightfoot announces re-election campaign

"Of course there are tough challenges ahead. We have a lot of work to do, because change just doesn’t happen overnight," Lightfoot said. "But together, we will make our city safer, fairer, and more equitable for all. Now, let’s get back to work."Chicago's leaders are looking for new ways to fight crime. This, as more than 30 people were shot over the weekend in two dozen incidents, and five people were killed.

"It’s you that I fight for. All the people who love, breathe, and believe in making the greatest city in the world even greater. You love this city as much as I do. The fact is, because of you, Chicago is coming back." Candidate for mayor, State Rep. Buckner, released the following statement after the mayor's announcement.

"Mayor Lightfoot has proven to be utterly ill-equipped to lead Chicago. Carjackings and violence are at record highs, economic disinvestment is drying up our neighborhoods, our schools are under-resourced, our police department is over-extended and under-staffed. Instead of a public safety plan, she’s raised bridges, put up barricades and demanded curfews.

Please don't vote for this person. Anyone else, literally, any other candidate.

'fool me once...

Never going to happen! Worse mayor the city has ever had!!!!

The Balls on this one.
