john kelly for mayor
Love chicago
demand better
For 25 years, I’ve brought business and government to the same table to get things done. Chicago doesn’t need more noise. It needs results, and a mayor who knows how to deliver them.

why i’m running
Chicago is the greatest city in the world
We have the people, the lake, the neighborhoods, the talent, and the economic strength to thrive. What we need is a City Hall focused on the work residents experience every day. John Kelly is running for mayor on five fundamentals — the basic responsibilities city government owes every Chicagoan, in every neighborhood, without exception. These are not aspirations. They are the job.
experience
Successfully balanced the often-competing goals of government and business in this city.
roots
Chicago roots were planted by John’s great grandfather who opened the Hayes Hotel in the Woodlawn neighborhood.
career
Political leaders in Springfield, Cook County, and the city of Chicago have sought my support and guidance for the better part of three decades.
the issues
Chicagoans deserve a city that works: safe streets, property taxes families can afford, schools that teach kids to read, and transit you can count on. These aren’t slogans. They’re the basics, and they’re exactly what city leadership has stopped delivering.
