2. Johnson's too much of an unknown though being from CPS is a big plus especially

seeing how Vallas is anti-public education and how the GOP is anti-education period.

Lightfoot is a possibility for me. She is smart. Yes, she’s badly tarnished but I feel she went thru the pandemic with a new police chief to boot facing a barrage of unknowns like the Floyd protest fallout .... but I see a marked decline in gun crimes, expressway shootings .... and crime itself is inevitable no matter who’s mayor. I also think the police don’t cooperate -- like those who were filmed sitting, talking and doing nothing while protests and looting took place. I’ve personally seen the same type of congregating instead of patrolling since.

However, should Lightfoot notl win, I will be interested to see how the media reports on the actions of her successor because I feel they’ve been excessively and unfairly critical of her administration.

Garcia is a possibility but I don’t know as much as I need to about him. I do think he’s more politically experienced than the others which is a plus.
