The majority of polls show that Lori Lightfoot is struggling and may not be granted another term. That wouldn\u2019t be a terribly surprising result, given the soaring crime rates and the generally decrepit state of the Windy City these days. If that\u2019s the case, who will replace her? Surprisingly enough, <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7chicago.com\/chicago-mayor-election-2023-paul-vallas-abortion\/12767781\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">One of the frontrunners<\/a> Paul Vallas is the man. His history of opposing abortion and promises to reduce crime make him stand out among Chicago Democrats. Can someone like this really be elected in a liberal stronghold. (ABC7 Chicago)<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Chicago mayoral candidates tout dueling endorsements, as Paul Vallas is criticized for his Democratic credentials.<\/p>\n<p>Several recent polls suggest Vallas is one of the frontrunners in the mayor\u2019s race, so it\u2019s no surprise he\u2019s coming under attack, but it\u2019s also an indication that this race will be rough and tumble in its final three weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you\u2019re a frontrunner you\u2019re always going to become the focus, particularly when people don\u2019t have specific recommendations to make or have anything of substance to offer,\u201d Vallas said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Jesus, one of the other candidates \u201cChuy\u201d Garcia has been running attack ads against Vallas. He found a clip that Vallas described himself as a few years ago. \u201cmore of a Republican than a Democrat\u201d and saying that he\u2019s personally opposed to abortion. Garcia accuses Garcia of not being a \u201creal\u201d Democrat claims Vallas would be \u201cdangerous\u201d Chicago Really? More dangerous than, say\u2026 stopping your car at a red light for more than ten seconds?<\/p>\n<p>Vallas now has the endorsement of the Chicago Tribune as well as the Fraternal Order of Police. This is quite remarkable. The Chicago Sun-Times ran <a href=\"https:\/\/chicago.suntimes.com\/elections\/2023\/2\/3\/23585019\/chicago-mayor-election-2023-vallas-abortion-garcia-choice-women-roe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A variety of articles are available<\/a> Here&#8217;s a list of progressive liberals that are freaking out over Paul Vallas. They\u2019re accusing him of having trodden upon the rights of workers in previous positions he\u2019s held and wanting to outlaw abortions. They may have a few people calling him a &#8220;satan worshipper&#8221;. Also, all the right people hate him.<\/p>\n<p>Chicago certainly needs some fresh blood in the mayor\u2019s office because the city is seriously circling the drain at this point. I would expect Vallas to promote himself as someone who personally opposes abortion but wouldn\u2019t seek a legislative remedy to it for everyone. And he\u2019s running on the issue of crime and promising to rebuild the police force. I doubt many people \u2013 even Democrats \u2013 will try to tear him down over that. That\u2019s particularly true of anyone who has been carjacked which, by now, is a significant portion of the electorate.<\/p>\n<p>On an unrelated note, if you plan on watching the State of the Union speech tonight, check back here for David Strom\u2019s liveblogging post. There will likely be plenty of whoppers sprinkled in throughout Biden\u2019s celebration of his many \u201caccomplishments\u201d and you\u2019ll have the chance to call them out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicago\u2019s next mayoral election is quickly approaching, scheduled for the 28th of this month.
