Former Governor Pat Quinn endorsed Paul Vallas while a Laquan McDonald relative backed Brandon Johnson just weeks before the Chicago Mayoral Election.
Quinn said Chicago needs a mayor who will stand up for people, and against companies like ComEd, which is seeking a new city contract while some former executives are on trial for corruption.
Johnson, who participated in a women's roundtable, also took his campaign to a church in Englewood that hosts a daycare center, touting his plan for universal childcare. Johnson took questions from the audience. Those gathered in the church also heard from Tracey Hunter, McDonald's grandmother, who said tackling crime takes a village, while urging support for Johnson."Like I said, 'Give him a chance.' You give that man a chance, you never know what outcome gonna come out of that," Hunter said.
"Obviously, that is my absolute top priority, and I will move quickly in the first 100 days to do those things to make sure that Chicago becomes the safest city in America," Vallas said."I'm counting on you all to talk to your family, your friends, your neighbors about what's at stake you all," Johnson said.
