Former Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn will pass on a run for Chicago mayor, closing the door on a long-shot bid for City Hall’s top job, he said Thursday.
“After much thought, I decided not to run for mayor of Chicago,” Quinn announced at a press conference on Thursday afternoon.
Quinn said he talked to all mayoral candidates, including first-term incumbent Mayor Lori Lightfoot, and said he sees the “good” in all of them. But he also declined to endorse anyone just yet.
