Chicago mayor-elect vows for 'collective response' to build a safer city

#Chicago #BrandonJohnson #Politics

Residents of Chicago deserve the mayor they elect, just like every other city.

[Trumpwon]

As a pregnant male democrat, I approve!

[colormebrave]

I live in Dallas Texas and he needs to get together with our Mayor and Police Chief. Violent crime decreased 60% in the highest crime area's in the last 3 years. And it started with the police chief arresting dirty cops. I have a mad crush on our Police Chief. And our Mayor is just as good . love my area.

Voting the same and expecting different outcomes... Good job Chicago...

[adriandj]

So basically nothing is going to change. This guy will be as soft and Lightfoot on crime.

[pvttj]

Reject Republican fascist party. ✌🏼🧢😎

I live in Chicago and I voted FOR VALLAS, IM EXTREMELY UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED. THE LAST PERSON WE NEED IS SOME HIPPY DIPPY " LEADER" LETTING MORE THUGS ROB, CAR JACK AND RAISING TAXES HERE. WE ARE LET DOWN. VALLAS IS A CENTRIST WHO SUPPORTS POLICE AND THE RULE OF LAW. THIS IS VERY, VERY BAD NEWS INDEED. YES I AM A DEMOCRAT.

[shawnsanders]

His first accomplishment should be admitting CHICAGO HAS A GANG PROBLEM, LET'S SEE.

[feffygracie]

This guy is no diff than Lightfoot. I guess IL doesn't care that their tax base is fleeing.

[Infinite.Worldz]

Lorie Lightfoot 2.0 Good job, Chicago. 😂😂

[farlakes]

'Safer' doesn't start with law enforcement. It starts with disciplined upbringing at home and at school. There has to be a *collective* expectation of societal responsibility.

[biglon]

Am I the only one that looks at Steve and ask does he ever change his clothes? He wears the exact same clothing every time there's an election😂😂😂

[tock]

He's basically further left of Lightfoot. Good luck. More businesses and wealthy people will leave Chicago. Less jobs and less tax income.

Here's the PROBLEM with Chicago voters since I was born in 1972..."If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got" (Henry Ford)
Richard J. Daley (DEMOCRAT) 1955-1976
Michael A. Bilandic (DEMOCRAT) 1976-1979
Jane Byrne (DEMOCRAT) 1979-1983
Harold Washington (DEMOCRAT) 1983-1987
David Duvall Orr (DEMOCRAT) 1987
Eugene Sawyer (DEMOCRAT) 1987-1989
Richard M. Daley (DEMOCRAT) 1989-2011
Rahm Emanuel (DEMOCRAT) 2011-2019
Lori Lightfoot (DEMOCRAT) 2019-2023
Brandon Johnson (DEMOCRAT) 2023-

Why is he speaking to the Mayor elect as if he doesn't understand the issues of his city?

[leferrishines]

Goodbye Chicago, I’m sorry but a sympathetic black mayor is the last thing Chicago needs

[MH-illk]

My father is a retired deputy. He has stated that every time a social worker has shown up for a case dealing with children, they always make things worse because they bring their power trip with them. Good luck with this new low Chicago.

[thomasdequincey]

Someone's going to have to explain this to me, 'cause I don't get it. Why get rid of Lori Lightfoot if you're just gonna elect the male version of her?

[deremiahderrick]

So we're just going to breeze past the "Muslims deserve a bullet part?"
