U.S. Rep. Jesus 'Chuy' Garcia, expected to sail to victory today in his bid for a third term in Congress, plans to jump into the race for mayor of Chicago on Thursday.
, but has so far been noncommittal as he runs for re-election to Congress. He has said he's reluctant to leave Congress given the growing number of Republican candidates for Congress who have supported former President Donald Trump's baseless claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, and have even taken actions to try to overturn the 2020 election results.
According to published reports, Garcia recently commissioned a poll that showed he would beat Mayor Lori Lightfoot in a head-to-head race, with 43% to Lightfoot's 34%, and 23% undecided. Garcia was a Chicago alderman from 1986 until 1993, and was a key ally of Washington's during the infamous"Council War," when former Ald. Edward Vrydolyak led a bloc of mostly white aldermen to consistently thwart the agenda of the city's first Black mayor, and control the City Council.
In 2011, Garcia was elected to the Cook County Board of Commissioners, where continued to serve until 2018, when he was elected to Congress.
