U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders will headline a preelection rally at the UIC Forum on Thursday to help mayoral candidate Brandon Johnson energize his base and boost turnout among young people.
Now that will happen for Johnson five days before what could be a nail-biter of an election.
"Young voters will hear the big musical name. They’ll hear a politician who is very popular with them" and they’ll come to the UIC Forum, said Neidhart, who served as deputy state director for Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign in Iowa. "Having worked for Bernie’s campaign in Iowa where our main voters were actually older union members, this isn’t just for young kids. Bernie Sanders has also shown in his presidential primaries that he is very popular with Latino voters, very popular across the board. Democrats love him. This is definitely something where we are playing to the broad base we have," Neidhardt said.
Throughout the campaign, Vallas has been fending off charges that he is an anti-choice, anti-union, pro-voucher "Republican" masquerading as a Democrat.
