Michael Sneed of the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that Republican Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner, who wants to drive down wages and bust unions in Illinois, is actively supporting Rahm Emanuel's re-election campaign in the April 7 run-off election for Mayor of Chicago. Specifically, Rauner has made at least two phone calls to Willie Wilson, who got third place in the first round of the Chicago mayoral race and, as a result, did not make the runoff, in an attempt to convince Wilson, who supported Rauner in last year's Illinois gubernatorial election and was a member of Rauner's post-election transition team, to publicly endorse Rahm:

(Michael) Sneed hears Gov. Bruce Rauner has called former mayoral candidate Willie Wilson twice to encourage him to endorse Mayor Rahm Emanuel in April’s runoff election.
Rauner and Wilson are expected to meet Saturday. Wilson supported Rauner in his gubernatorial campaign last year, and in turn Rauner appointed him to his transition committee.

On Thursday, Wilson announced he was retracting the promise he made on the eve of Election Day that he would endorse Garcia in the event of a runoff.

K.M.A. Rahm Emanuel!
