No longer in the city limits, so I have no vote here, but I'd go with Lori.

Amara Enyia had $$ coming from Chance and Kanye . All gone now.

During the campaign, I was kind of liking Willie Wilson.
Chicago needs a massive leadership overhaul.
Toni Preckwinkle is "Machine" as can be. Same old Chicago/Cook Co. story, but in black woman form.

(25,667 posts)11. Willie Wilson supported trump and rauner
I wouldn't trust him.
