The dueling attacks reflected both campaigns’ goal to characterize the other as too extreme for Chicago.
The MAGA signs linking Vallas with Trump are an effort to connect him with an unpopular Republican and weaken his argument to voters that he is a lifelong Democrat.

When the entire country is trying to find and recruit officers, can we afford to wait for 1,600 vacancies when you live in Austin, where within the last four years there are more homicides in my neighborhood than the entire North Shore combined?” Johnson said. “I wake up to violence every single day. Don’t tell me that our safety comes down to a doggone hashtag. It’s racist and it’s ridiculous.
He began by responding to a question by saying, “Look, we cannot afford to have a stratified school district where you have to apply in order to have access to a quality school.” But he did not answer follow-up questions on what changes he wants to see in the application process and instead repeated that parents want fully funded neighborhood schools and an “equitable, just system.”
