The son of an educator and a Cook County law enforcement officer, state Rep. Kam Buckner said he was raised on “the values of safety, justice and education.”
Not surprisingly, those themes are now the crux of his campaign for mayor.
“They taught me that the highest calling is serving others, keeping your community safe, enhancing their knowledge while expanding your horizons,” Buckner said of his parents when he announced his run last year. “We need a mayor who can bring people together to get things done for Chicago.”
