Mayors Race Heating UP

Willie Wilson |

Bob Fioretti |
Were left wondering if 2015 will bring Chicago a new more hard working mayor, of if we will re elect the current mayor. There are a slew of candidates in the race this year. From Chewy Garcia, Rahm, Collins, Wilson, and Walls. The vote is expected to be split pretty evenly. With Auroras Matt Harrington involved with Dock Walls that will surely tamper with his vote totals. As Willie Wilson is showing as a strong hold for the African American voters. With his wisdom and success under his belt, thus far in the race he is expected to pull 33% of the African American vote.

Chewy Garcia |

Fredrick Collins |
Chewy Garcia seems to be attempting to sway the African American vote. Pulling on some prior Rahm supporters, trying to use that as a base to get himself elected as Mayor. Though his tactics may work in his world, this is not a sure fire win for him, but instead a very off cycle up hill battle. He is not being looked at as a winning candidate at this point.

Rahm Emanuel |
Rahm is expected to win this election but only by a small
margin thus far. After a sketchy term, and last minute failed attempts to boost his own reputation, Rahm is falling behind in his election moves. His campaign barley even off to a start. Fredrick Collins a Chicago police officer has yet to show his hand as well and could easily rake in quite a few votes within the city limits as well. Alderman Robert " Bob" Fioretti is also expected to make some splash, taking a good chunck of Rahms votes as well. So with the election up in the air we need to see something from the Mayor if he hopes to rake in enough votes to be re-elected!
Watch out Rahm, get up or get off the pot. Chicago is on it's way to new powers if the mayors campaign does not get up or start moving soon!
