Brown In The Race for Mayor

The mayoral race is on the way and this city election season has the promise to be something much more significant than any mayoral race has been since 1989.  With Dorothy Brown in the race already Mayor Daley is guaranteed a stronger race than he has seen in many years.  If Jesse Jackson, Jr., Luis Gutierrez and some have said Mike Quigley get into the race it could be a fascinating election season.

Dorothy Brown represents a different kind of politician.  She is not someone who spent years working her way to the top of someone else’s organization.  She is a self-made woman who has proven she is a person of integrity, strong character and has proven skills in leadership and management of a large public office.  In some ways that makes her more qualified than the other challengers.  Running an organization that has well over 30,000 employees is a huge undertaking.  Experience in managing a large organization will be one of her strengths as she campaigns for mayor.

As a Ward Committeeman I am very encouraged to see that there is the very good possibility that we will have some choices for mayor that will present various styles and viewpoints about where our city should be going.  Now lets see who else enters into this race.  There is only 10 weekends to go to collect the petitions.
