Vallas moved from Lincoln Park to Bridgeport in January 2022, using that address to register to vote in March 2022 and to form a new campaign committee,, with the Illinois State Board of Elections in April 2022. Vallas moved to the second floor of a Bridgeport apartment building because it was more convenient for his “work and family,” his campaign spokesperson said.
“ returned to Chicago to volunteer on the Vallas campaign in January of 2019 and lived at the residence of a friend,” according to Vallas’ 2023 campaign spokesperson. Vallas is not the only candidate for mayor of Chicago not to own property in the city. Businessman Willie Wilson owns a home in south suburban Hazel Crest and rents a penthouse apartment along Wacker Drive downtown. Mayoral candidate Ja’Mal Green initially challenged Wilson’s Chicago residency, before dropping the matter.
In response to inquiries from WTTW News, the Cook County Assessor’s Office opened an investigation Thursday into whether Vallas’ Palos Heights home properly received tax breaks during the past four years totaling $5,507.61.
