Six candidates for Chicago’s next mayor—Gery Chico, Miguel del Valle, Rahm Emanuel, Carol Moseley Braun, Patricia Van Pelt-Watkins, and William Walls, III—have shared their plans to tackle tough issues affecting Chicago Latinos, a community that represents 27 percent of the City’s population, and an estimated 320,000 members of its electorate. Candidates’ complete, unedited responses will be available on the Latino Policy Forum website homepage,www.latinopolicyforum.org, at 10am on Thursday, February 10.
“Latino voters will play an important role in this historic mayoral race—and these voters must understand candidates’ plans for their community to make a well-informed decision at the ballot box,” said Sylvia Puente, executive director of the Latino Policy Forum and co-convener of the Agenda. “But beyond the Latino voters, it behooves all Chicagoans to understand how each candidate is prepared to invest in such a large portion of the City’s residents.”
