Recent polling either placing her in a statistical tie with or trailing one of the following candidates: former Chicago Public Schools (CPS) CEO Paul Vallas,\u00a0Rep. Jes\u00fas \u201cChuy\u201d Garc\u00eda (D-Ill.),\u00a0and Johnson.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Johnson has sought to position himself as the progressive candidate in the race, accusing fellow mayoral candidate Garc\u00eda\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/chicago.suntimes.com\/fran-spielman-show\/2023\/1\/19\/23562763\/brandon-johnson-chicago-mayoral-race-chuy-garcia-progressive-movement\">as being \u201ca staunch ally of Lori Lightfoot.<\/a>\u201d The Cook County commissioner, who has the backing of the powerful Chicago Teachers Union (CTU), however, has had to tread a fine line over a previous position of supporting defunding the police.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Cook County commissioner was targeted over his support for defunding the police in one of Lightfoot\u2019s ads. In an interview with The Hill last week, he would not say whether he would remove funding from the Chicago Police Department, only saying he would be \u201cinvesting in what works.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vallas, meanwhile, last ran for mayor in 2019, though he was unable to make it into the runoff that year, which saw Lightfoot elected.<\/p>\n<p>He leaned into tough-on-crime messaging during the race in an election where public safety was ranked in some polling as a top issue among voters. He\u2019s also backed by the Fraternal Order of Police.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>In a sign of the competitive nature of the race, Lightfoot and other candidates targeted Vallas, casting him as a Republican. The Chicago mayor has also targeted him over his position on abortion. Vallas has dismissed the attacks, saying he\u2019s a \u201clifelong pro-choice Democrat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Chicago mayoral runoff is set for April 4.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
