Sources confirm that Congressman Jesus “Chuy” Garcia plans to run for Mayor of the City of Chicago. He will make the announcement as early as Thursday. This would be the congressman’s second attempt at a run for Mayor after he forced former Mayor Rahm Emanuel into a run-off election in 2015. Garcia lost that election by 12 percentage points, but the race elevated his political profile paving the way for a run for Congress.
