What are the Polling Numbers?
Mayor Brandon Johnson spent more than three times the amount of money than he brought into his campaign coffers from July to September this year, according to new campaign filings.
That leaves the freshman incumbent with just $379,471 in the bank — yet another indication of Johnson’s serious struggle to raise money for the uphill reelection battle he announced last month.
In July, Johnson’s political checking account dropped to $631,309, down from $813,125 in the first quarter of this year.
Johnson brought in $122,980 from July to September. The majority of his contributions are donations of $500 or less from individuals. The largest single donation he received was $10,000. The second was $5,000 from Mary Gardner, a prominent West Side organizer who Johnson recently nominated for appointment to the Chicago Housing Authority board.
Johnson’s cash continues to pale in comparison to the $19 million of his top opponent, Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias. However, the mayor said he remains confident in his reelection campaign at an unrelated news conference Friday.
What he's really counting on is a push by the CTU to get him to the runoff.
Giannoulias has FIFTY TIMES the amount of money Conehead does. Even Mendoza only has about $2 million in her campaign coffers.
We're about eight days from the Nominating Petition deadline (26 Oct). We'll see if the field thins out a little then.

Giannoulias has appointments at Illinois Secretary of State, he also help pass legislation that is anti police. I could never vote for him.
Going to vote red for the phenomenal black lady running Republican
The CTU is all he has
and the pension he stole pretending to be a teacher.
What a trajedy he is
Again, Shitcago will just go from one shitbird Mayor to another.
I suspect most cops dislike Brandon Johnson and most leftist politicians, but the democrats keep the pensions going, so cops continue to vote their own self-interest. Because aside from city layoffs, which never happens, the only way to fund these unsustainable pensions is through tax increases.
Someone check Alexi's pockets.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Sad the Mayor will be re elected!
No one gives a shit!
Can't Bonehead just steal some $$$ from the taxpayers?
Vote RED
The second was $5,000 from Mary Gardner, a prominent West Side organizer who Johnson recently nominated for appointment to the Chicago Housing Authority board.
Wait, what? Is this legal? Is this ethical?? I can't get a cup of coffee from a 7-11, but my mayor is getting 5 g's from someone he gave a taxpayers-funded job to?
Easy! Mayor Conehead should just decree thhat each Exempt political hack boss, police and fire departments , "Donate " $25,000 and each undeserving "Merit scumbag' $15,000, he'll be rolling in cash!
Even Conehead sees his own future when he looks in the mirror...that he is even thinking of running again bewilders me.
And what’s Alex G gonna do for the TaXPAYERS? Gonna get rid of all the duplicate jobs in Conehead admin? And how about the top heavy CPD? Get 30% of them off those big paying “management” fake job titles? And then let’s talk about gutting CPS, and all those low enrollment/high employment schools sucking taxpayers dry?
And yet he is at the top of the polls. Chicago politics at it finest. I wonder how long Chicago voters will take to realize that they are told who to vote for?
Giannoulias Is all in becoming Mayor of Chicago so he can put all of his efforts into fighting Trump and ICE. Literally not one statement from his campaign as to what he’d do to improve this City?!
or how about not spending money on crap & crap peoples
BJ doesn’t need money because he has the mainstream media and CTU supporting him.
$5k pay to play but I’m sure it’s just reparations as BJ would put it. To add he might not have enough signatures
He destroyed the dmv and his family bank. Horrible politiliar.
Make sure to get out and vote for Susana Mendoza, she is a democrat, But at least she is pro-police to a certain degree. If you don't get out and vote then keep quiet when the wrong person gets elected.
My thought exactly, and no one is batting an eye. This pay to play bribery scheme is getting out of control, but then again race has a lot to do on whether there will be an outrage over it, if Dailey would have done this the city would have been burning. Remember the mayors' kind are a protected class and can do whatever they want without fear of going to prison. Shame on anyone calling them out.
The only reason Alex wants to be Mayor is that he hates going to Springfield.
Would you rather have your head chopped off or be burnt at the stake?
This is the decision in the election for Chicago mayor.
What's he gonna do for the taxpayers......
Just get off the boat ? Are you retarded ? Got shit in your ears ?
He's gonna fuck them sideways and silly, a proven thief Alexi is, he is he is
Get rid of duplicate jobs! You on drugs....Replaced with his band of thieves
Nooooooooo
Remember the 60's ....
Better dead than Red......
ICE better start sitting on polling places in Shitcago this week. This is when the CCP will be bussing in all their illegals to Vote before law enforcement shows up at polling places in November...McGuane Park and McKinley Park library are their two favorite polling places for the CCP in the city
will anyone running for mayor comment on this week ends shootings and killings without blaming Trump
Rumor has it that Brandubm was seen "pan handling" at State and Madison last night. He was in true character - disguised as a shit bum.
Pick out the worst mayoral candidate for Chicago's future. Thats who will win the election. Chicago voters are pathetic.
Vote RED on November 3
I could never vote for him also. However, it is people like Michael Sacks who give money to Toni Preckwinkle to preserve his own power authority and money.
Yet he fights CTU-go figure.
(It's not so hard )
💯
He won’t be filing tomorrow. Let’s see what happens on the last day.
I just sent $100. to the RNC.
If you live in a mental institution, you will have to deal with frequent moments of insanity
know that, once the socialists are in power, having been an elected representative of the people and exercising their own right to free speech is no defense when the Gestapo, KGB, or Stasi come calling.
The public does not need to know the answer to this hypothetical question. Thus, it should not be asked again.
Alexi is going to issue illegals driver's licenses full throttle. Then watch the crashes pile up...literally!
better than Johnson
haha, in this city ? may as well save your time and not vote at all then
Who be the donkey 🫏 donors no show violence interrupters, gun violence prevention employees, lawyers winning millions in police abuse court settlements, gang bangers, drug dealers,those housing illegal immigrants ? His barber ?? 💈 one term Conehead Won election with ballots found after polling places closed.
Do not vote for Alexi in November. Elect the republican. Vote for Alexi in February as Mayor
Feminine Man
That’s all he’s got.
Anti-Trump rhetoric.
No plans, no budget, no ways to bring back lost revenue and business to the city.
“Orange Man BAD!”
That’s it.
But people are dumb enough to believe that shit.
Don’t vote for him at all!
Agree!
Alexi will have a run off with the female Republican
I guess they missed that mandatory ethics training about political contributions and job placement.
I will give him everything I have in my pocket............... OOOOOPPPSSS only lint & dollar bill W/ that car guys picture on it.
All those poor CTU and SEIU members have been donating 10 a month each from their union dues to the POS Johnson. Only problem NO ONE signed anything ! NO ONE ASKED! The members did NOT get to Vote on this!! NO their leadership just decided that they wren going to take 10 dollars a month from their membership and give it to CornHead for his re-election bid. That is how socialism works it is their money to do with as they wish NOT the Memberships...
Happens all the time
And then Alex will be mayor. Republican will have no choice against a Democrat for mayor. No chance
It all depends on which devil you want running the show.
Who doesn’t? Most boring State Capitol ever.
if alexi gets in all the greeks on the cpd will be promoted
I am predicting here and now that Johnson is going to win a 2nd term.
those driver's license that say "not to be used as identification" have been around for a long time
ok conehead, thanks
