Bernie Sanders Endorses Brandon Johnson In Chicago Mayor's Race
CHICAGO — Sen. Bernie Sanders has endorsed Brandon Johnson in Chicago’s mayor’s race.
Johnson, a Chicago Teachers Union organizer and public school teacher, is facing former schools CEO Paul Vallas in the April 4 runoff. Polling has showed the two are in a tight race, and they’ve been picking up endorsements in the leadup to the election.
“Commissioner Brandon Johnson has been a champion for working families in Chicago,” Sanders said in a news release. “He is not afraid to stand up for strong unions and make big corporations and the rich pay their fair share to invest in affordable housing, quality health care, better schools, and good jobs.
“Brandon understands the struggle of working people, and is prepared to address them, and that is why I am proud to endorse his campaign for mayor of the city of Chicago.”
