In backing García, Quinn spurned his former gubernatorial running mate Paul Vallas, another of the eight candidates challenging Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
Mayoral candidate U.S. Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia speaks with attendees during a mayoral forum at 22 West Washington Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023 in Chicago.
First elected to the Cook County Board of Appeals in 1982, Quinn has run for a series of higher offices over the ensuing years, ultimately succeeding in 2002 when voters chose him as the Democratic lieutenant governor when Rod Blagojevich was first elected governor. Quinn ascended to the state’s chief executive post in 2009 when Blagojevich was indicted by federal prosecutors on corruption charges and impeached and ousted by state legislators.
Then-Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, right, appears at a 2014 news conference with his running mate Paul Vallas. Quinn is now endorsing one of Vallas's challengers in the race for Chicago mayor, U.S. Rep. Jesus"Chuy" Garcia. Lightfoot unveiled an endorsement from numerous Black faith leaders, a key demographic for her as she seeks to earn a second term. Lightfoot beamed as she stood with dozens of people in Bronzeville and accepted their endorsement.
