Here’s a bulk-mail excerpt from my old boss, Jim Dean.
In the weeks ahead, Democracy for America — alongside our friends at United Working Families, MoveOn, and the Chicago Teachers Union — will go all in to defeat Rahm Emanuel in the runoff on April 7 and elect Jesus “Chuy” Garcia as Chicago’s new mayor.
We will also fight to re-elect Aldermen John Arena and Toni Foulkes, who are going to a runoff against two of Rahm’s cronies. DFA members will harness that grassroots energy to build a lasting, broad-based progressive movement that will bring Elizabeth Warren-style, populist progressive reform to Chicago in the years to come.
Rahm and Jim’s brother Howard are famous enemies. It’ll be interesting to see who wins this battle here.
I know who I’m rooting for.
