Johnson’s Delay and Fundraising Gap | Chicago News
Description
Chicago’s mayoral race is heating up as Alexi Giannoulias jumps in with a war chest of $22 million, while incumbent Mayor Brandon Johnson stays tight-lipped—deflecting questions about his re-election plans with vague promises of safety and affordability. With just $631K in his campaign fund, Johnson trails far behind rivals like Susana Mendoza ($1.6M) and John Kelly ($2M), falling short of the $5M needed to seriously compete. Though some see his delay as a strategic misstep, others note he waited until October before launching last time—and as mayor, he may have more leeway to play the long game.
