Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson on Wednesday called his second-place finish in the mayoral race “humbling” and “exhilarating” — and he pushed back on the notion that his progressive platform might be a stretch for some Chicago voters.
“What I do know is the city of Chicago needs a better, stronger, safer city. And that means making sure that our schools are fully supported and funded, reliable transportation, good- paying jobs, affordable housing, pathway to homeownership,” Johnson told the Sun-Times.
