Gery Chico
Selling point: It’s his second time running for mayor and it’s still unclear.
Even more bonkers: Wants to combine CPS with City Colleges of Chicago.
And a second come-again: That big campaign contribution from Trump bud Kanye West.
Jerry Joyce
Selling points: Biggest donor is his wife, a Filipina-American physician at UChicago Medicine whom he met when they were at Yale.
Come again? So where exactly does she stand on, e.g., lifting the statewide ban on rent control?
Susana Mendoza
Selling points: Throws shade in an impeccable Chicago accent without swearing like a sailor. Familiarity with the ropes of City Hall and experience as state rep, city clerk, and now state comptroller should help her handle the city’s ongoing financial and pension crises.
