One Year Left

The next mayoral election is scheduled for 23 February 2027. 

If no one gets 50%+1 then the run off is 06 April 2027.

According to this link, there are four candidates so far:

  • Maria Pappas
  • Mike Quigley
  • Joel Holberg 
  • Johnny LoGalbo

Expect more shortly. 

(UPDATE: these are DECLARED candidates. No one has filed Nominating Petitions yet so even these four might not make it to election day. When we said "Expect more shortly" we can almost guarantee that there will be at least ten people running.)

Liam Stanton is running. Lots of backing. North sider and police family. Young with some new ideas. Just have to make it to the runoff and anything can happen.

Please vote. No matter who you vote for vote. We need to get to 75% voter turnout. Let the swamp know we care and we have to power to vote out tye scum.

The most competent is Maria Pappas. She's a stone cold, no nonsense manager. She appeals to white liberals, ethnics and even some blacks. Quigley is an idiot. Mendoza is going around trying to make herself likeable tour but in the end she too is basically an idiot.

I agree with you my friend. I went into his office to see if he would sponsor a change to the tax laws so that we could take money out of our deferred comp to pay for our kids college and NOT PAY income taxes. NO DICE his office said. They wanted to protect the bankers and their money.. "But it's our money" I said. No, they said it was the bankers.

Coincidentally, I just recently saw an interview on WGN TV about 'Liam Stanton' where they quickly flashed a photo of his dad in the Chicago Police uniform. I immediately recognized his father (Tom) from my days back on the job and commented to my wife that his dad was a true class act, one of those guys that you could sincerely call, "Chicago's Finest' in every regard. I can honestly say that 'Liam' comes from a great stock background and wish him well in his political endeavors. God bless and watch over all our LEO and military brothers and sisters, past and present and good luck Liam.

And of which, many sounded like the people tasked with his internal investigation 🤔 beazley and so on. Was there a food and transportation provided? If so and on fop dime, I got a problem with that especially if you were only allowed two people if I heard correctly (third party)
