Description
Democrats have run Chicago for decades, and the lead-up to the mayoral runoff on April 4 has often been about proving allegiance to the Democratic Party. Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson and his supporters call former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas a Republican. Vallas denies that and says he’s a lifelong Dem. So what’s it like to be a Republican in Chicago? Lenny Sklaney is president of the Chicago Young Republicans and he tells host Jacoby Cochran it can sometimes feel lonely in Chicago’s political landscape.
