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
Knows how City Hall works, and how to make it work for Chicago.
roots
Chicago roots were planted by John’s great-grandfather who opened the Hayes Hotel in the Woodlawn neighborhood.
Independent
Never ran for office. Never owed the machine a favor. John answers to Chicago’s neighborhoods.
the issues
Chicagoans deserve a city that works: safe neighborhoods, reliable transit, no new taxes, schools that teach kids to read, and a city government that works. These are the basics, and they’re exactly what city leadership has stopped delivering.
