Congressman Jesus 'Chuy' Garcia Considering Another Run For Mayor Of Chicago
Garcia declined to say when he plans to make a decision on a bid for mayor, but acknowledged, "I've got to decide soon."
CHICAGO (CBS) — Congressman Jesus "Chuy" Garcia said Wednesday he is considering a bid for mayor of Chicago, and acknowledged he needs to make up his mind soon about whether he'll join the crowded field of challengers running against Mayor Lori Lightfoot in 2023.
Garcia would almost certainly become the instant favorite to unseat Lightfoot, after previously running for mayor in 2015, when he forced then-Mayor Rahm Emanuel into a runoff, before losing with 44% of the vote to Emanuel's 56%.
