Celeen Rusk, River West “I’m disappointed in Lightfoot. How she’s handled opportunities to reform is disappointing, Covid, unrest in 20/21. She’s been uncompromising in areas where people relied on her to bring the city together.”
Lorraine McCoy, Southside “I have issues with Lightfoot, but I think you have issues with any politician.”
John David Means Jr., Auburn Gresham “Lightfoot needs more time. I’d like to see better race relations in the city”
Pamala Wortham, South Shore “The city is worse than it’s ever been. But with the right person, we could come up again.”
Juliana Santamaria, Suburbs “I had to leave the city to afford housing when I had my daughter. It’s one of my goals to move back.”
Rabbi Mendy Benhiyoun, Lakeview “Safety is a big issue. I’d love to see communities feeling safer, elderly and families feeling like they can safely stroll on Michigan Ave”
Mike Galvin, Southside “I’m not overly impressed with Lightfoot. I don’t think the leadership is there. In the last 4 years, a lot more carjackings and shootings. I’d like to see more police.”
Jesse Chacon, Little Village “The city’s been good for me and my family. I’ll probably vote for Lightfoot again if I get off work on time.”
Cathy Olle, Beverley “I’m not pleased with Lightfoot. She talks down to everyone, it feels like the teacher is yelling at me. I’m voting for Johnson, he’s young and might have new ideas.”
Mike Rosen, Hermosa “I think Lightfoot’s made an enemy out of everybody in Chicago. I’ll be voting for Johnson. His policies are what I’m drawn to, he’s an uncompromising progressive.”
Kuna Na, Bridgeport “Education for children and new immigrants to the city is my priority.”
Christopher Hogan, Logan Square “As a Chicagoan, mental health resources are really important”
Rick Rosengaren, Hyde Park “I voted for LIghtfoot, but I’m undecided now. Crime and poverty are the biggest issues facing the city.”
Evan Williams, Hyde Park “I have mixed opinions about Lightfoot. Teacher unions are important to me.”
