Chicago mayoral candidates Brandon Johnson and Paul Vallas campaign down to the wire in ‘most important election in a generation’
Chicago mayoral candidates Brandon Johnson and Paul Vallas ended the final weekend of the race by fanning out across the city, from a Dungeons and Dragons-themed bar in Avondale to churches around the South and West sides.
With election day Tuesday, the candidates held smaller-scale events as they focused primarily on mobilizing their bases and generating turnout in the bitterly contested race.
Johnson’s weekend schedule included a stop in Humboldt Park before taking him down the north lakefront, where the mayoral candidate bit into ethnic delicacies from chutney-dipped samosas at a restaurant along Devon Avenue to an Asian carp burger in the backyard of an Uptown store.
