Nearly Losing My Life Made Me Want

I Would Like To Run For The Mayor Of The City Of Chicago. That Has Always Been An Aspiration Of Mine Even When I Was In The House Of Representatives.

As We Move Forward, I Am Looking For A New Leader Of The Chicago Police Department To Address The Problems At The Very Heart Of The Policing Profession. The Problem Is Sometimes Referred To As "the Thin Blue Line." The Problem Is Other Times Referred To As "the Code Of Silence." It Is This Tendency To Ignore. It Is The Tendency To Deny. It Is The Tendency, In Some Cases, To Cover Up The Bad Actions Of A Colleague Or Colleagues.

The Person Who Takes The Oath Of Office In The Next Four Months Will Shape Not Just The Next Four Years, But The Next Forty Years Of Our Nation. In These Next Four Years, We Need Proven Leadership, Proven Judgment And Proven Values. America Needs Four More Years Of President Barack Obama.

While Mayor Daley Surprised Me Today With His Decision To Not Run For Reelection, I Have Never Been Surprised By His Leadership, Dedication And Tireless Work On Behalf Of The City And The People Of Chicago.
