I called Brandon Johnson a short time ago to congratulate him on winning this election. It’s critically important that we all come together now and work collaboratively to move our city forward. I thank my supporters and team, and especially my family. Thank you, Chicago.

The Mayor tells the media and critics if you're not offering solutions or hope for our neighborhoods, shut your mouth about the city of Chicago.” Given his ‘First 100 Days’ has been all talk and no action, he should apply that rule to himself.

Tonight downtown is in absolute chaos. Juveniles jumping on top of buses, cars, terrorizing residents, tourists & businesses. These mass groups fought CPD & only minimal arrests were made. Why? Because CPD isn’t allowed to, they have no plan & they didn’t have enough manpower.
