Former U.S. Sen. Carol Moseley Braun kicked off her campaign for Chicago mayor Saturday by reintroducing herself to voters, some of whom weren't even born when she last won election in 1992.

Braun, who runs an organic food company, was the last of six major candidates to formally declare her candidacy to replace retiring Mayor Richard Daley, who has presided over the city for more than 20 years but announced in September that he wouldn't seek a seventh term. The former senator joins a crowded field that includes former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel.
