Just two days after winning his re-election for Illinois' 4th Congressional District, Jesus 'Chuy' Garcia said he is running for Chicago mayor again.
"Coming home is really to address the calling that I hear, to make a better place for its residents," he said., who he endorsed four years ago. He cited, among other things, a lack of funding for violence prevention measures and a failure to deliver on campaign promises, such as re-opening the city's shuttered mental health clinics.
"I've been a member of the infrastructure committee. It's where the infrastructure and jobs act came out of," he said. "I've been a member of the financial services committee, dealing with the financial system across the country." "Morale hasn't been this low in a long, long time," Garcia said. "I think new leadership. Probably Chicago-bred leadership can help change that."
