WASHINGTON – Nuestro PAC - a national political action committee focusing on Latino voters - is urging Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia, D-Ill., to jump into the Chicago mayoral race, commissioning a poll showing Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Garcia tied as the standouts in a big field and Lightfoot saddled with a high disapproval rating.
I talked to Garcia on Sunday and asked him about the risk-free position he holds: Garcia, on the November ballot seeking a third term, faces weak GOP opposition in a safe Democratic district. Garcia can run for mayor in 2023 without giving up his seat in Congress. “I am very much aware of that,” Garcia said.
