Progress Illinois

Alexi out performed all other Illinois statewide winners last night demonstrating serious voter preference going into the Chicago mayor’s race. If some candidates get knocked off the municipal ballot the real question is, can Alexi win out right in the first round.

Big winner in Illinois last night was Alexi Giannoulias. He was the biggest statewide vote getter demonstrating widespread support going into the Chicago mayors race.

Quietly, while Sacks went to war spending millions against CTU The SEIU did very well in the school board elections winning 9 races including the school board President. This should go a long way to help protect thousands of CPS working families. Bravo!

Hey Susana, this is the message voters sent yesterday. Remember just a few days ago when you told the business community at lunch that you would bring more data centers to Chicago? washingtonpost.com/technolog…

Rarely do I agree with Frank but he is right. CTU was outspent 5-1 and fought Michael Sacks to a draw. It was a net loss of seats for the Mayor and CTU but not an outright loss. Sacks and his political team have proven again to have little ability to affect Chicago elections.

Thanks God! Job well done, Sister!

A fake charge made by a dirty, racist cop who didn’t want Black and Brown families moving into his neighborhood. It says a lot about you and your venture capital firm’s values that you would cite a fake news outlet run by Trump supporter Dan Proft. Thanks for posting.

The venture capital bros won’t be throwing in for Susana’s long shot mayoral campaign with this latest hurdle in her way. They weren’t likely to fund her quixotic campaign to begin with.

Interesting moves on mayoral petition challenges but the big losers are Brandon Johnson who can ill afford more controversy and Susana Mendoza. This effectively freezes Mendoza’s campaign for the duration of the challenge period making it near impossible for her to raise money.

Landon is the venture capital bro who introduced Susana at her announcement and he spends a lot of time defending data centers. Do we want him influencing policy in City Hall? Hard pass.

Nor am I venture cap’s bitch in Chicago. I fought for workers. You fight for white billionaires. Super gratifying work.

Nor was I his political protege. I spent my career running candidates against Ed. Burke. Susana was the Latina that did the white machine’s bidding suppressing Latino votes. Beyond disgusting.

I didn’t get married in his house, Bitch!

Look at Susana’s record. Look at her associations through the years. She is the farthest Right candidate in this race. Everyone knows that. If you don’t, I feel sorry for you.

Susana The Spork Mendoza catches a serious challenge. If she doesn’t make the ballot where will the Right Wing / Ed Burke vote in this election? Kelly, I suppose. And where do Landon and the vulture capital bros go? Oh, the horror!

They have become incredibly lenient in recent years so anything is possible. But any realistic review of Johnson’s petitions would conclude he is in very real trouble.

Hey Shabang loser, Progress Illinois has been one of the most vocal critics of Mayor Brandon Johnson. So go away, please.

For the first time in the history of Chicago politics a sitting mayor will face a serious petition challenge. Let the games begin.

Why do you Neo Libs hate this guy so much? He followed your rules. He ran in your Primary and won. That makes him a Democrat. Progressives have held their noses for years and voted for the likes of Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Hillary Clinton. Now do the same, friggin crybabies.

Apparently I’m not the only one disgusted by Haley Stevens betrayal. Most of her staff have quit in protest. I suppose they are “cosplaying” as well. She must be sanctioned by the party and kicked out if rules allow it. aol.com/articles/more-half-h…
