The Tribune spent weeks covering campaign trail stops by Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson. Here's what we saw.
Mayoral candidates Brandon Johnson, left, and Paul Vallas acknowledge the audience after Vallas wished Johnson a happy birthday before their debate at WBBM-Ch. 2 on March 28, 2023.Since Feb. 28, the Chicago Tribune has sent reporters and photographers around the city to follow mayoral candidates Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson as they’ve pressed their case to voters.
We’ve watched them campaign in churches, community centers, train stations, art galleries and restaurants, from the Far South Side to Austin and Edgewater. Along the way, the contenders have tried to lay out an optimistic vision for the city’s future while taking questions from skeptical voters — and bad-mouthing their opponents. Here are two stories from the campaign trail showing the arguments they’ve made and the personal side they’ve shared with city residents ahead of Tuesday’s election.
