I have met Quigley a few times and liked him A LOT… and I am familiar with his politics. He would 100% get my vote so long as he pledges to continue what Johnson is doing to lower crime. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. BJ is not a good mayor and needs to be out, but he has hit the mark when it comes to crime. That is the one thing we should continue from BJ’s administration — and change just about everything else.
Edit: And I know a lot of people will want to chalk this all up to Snelling, but as someone who has a home in Hyde Park and quite a bit of family living on the southside, there has been a change under Johnson. Much more community-based initiatives, community policing, and outreach/activities directed at the youth -- all things that were either non-existent or lacking in funding and commitment from previous administrations. Johnson is committed to those, and it shows.
Replace Johnson, but keep and build on his initiatives to combat crime.
