The race for Chicago mayor became slightly more crowded Thursday with state Rep. Kam Buckner declaring he will look to unseat Mayor Lori Lightfoot from City Hall’s fifth floor in the upcoming 2023 election.
“I love this city, I am from this city, I decided to remain in this city and raise my family here,” the South Side Democrat said ahead of his campaign announcement. “It is very clear that people don’t feel safe, they don’t feel seen and they don’t feel like there is a plan to address those things.”
