Who Is Running For Chicago Mayor?
About this episode
The episode discusses the upcoming Chicago mayoral race and the candidates challenging the incumbent.
The mayor’s race is months away, but a crowded field of potential candidates is already forming to challenge incumbent Mayor Brandon Johnson. The 2027 mayoral election is Feb. 23. A runoff election will take place April 6 if no candidate garners at least 50 percent of the vote in the first round — a highly likely possibility with so many people expected to run.
