Good for you...
But, as a Chicagoan, you should know that the Democratic Primary will decide who will be Chicago’s next mayor, and that November is just kabuki.
Amen to that. I don't know why they bother with the annoying formalities of an election in Chicago.
Chicago won’t have a Nov. election, this year. The primaries will be on Feb. 22, and the general election will be on April 5. Chicago elections are nonpartisian, since Republicans are unlikely to win. The last time Chicago elected a Republican, for mayor, was 1927.
Great choice - Dead Fish Emmanual or C M Braun - Democrats all! I suggest that the GOP candidate runs on the most outrageous but legal electorate bribery campaign and force the Lefties into an untenable position. That is the way the Lefties operate, so give them a dose of their own medicine and break out the popcorn.
Not the case. It's a free-for-all.
"The way the city elects its mayor has changed since [former mayor Harold] Washington's days. Candidates used to run as Democrats and Republicans, and sometimes as a hastily formed third-party choice. These days, they run without party designations, and there is no primary, just a crowded municipal election and a runoff."
