BGA Senior Policy Analyst Alden Loury appeared on CAN-TV’s “Political Forum” show this week to talk with host Teresa Cordova about the outcome of Tuesday’s mayoral election and to peek ahead at the April 7 run-off between Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Cook County Commissioner Jesus “Chuy” Garcia.
Loury and Cordova fielded calls about how the election was affected by the city’s challenges with public employee pensions, education and crime, and how Emanuel and Garcia would appeal to voters leading up to the run-off, particularly those in Chicago’s minority communities.
