It wants to extract maximum possible value for its members and maximize possible power for its leadership. That is the only reason the CTU exists, period.

As such you can assume whoever they endorse is inherently tainted by that agenda and therefore will ignore what is best for the citizens and city of Chicago in favor of whatever benefits the CTU.
Couldn't agree with this more. The world isn't binary, it is possible for Preckwinkle to be endorsed by CTU, but still better than other candidates. Unlike many in this race (Wilson, McCarthy, Lightfoot, Enyia, technically Vallas) she has an actual political record to look at with successes and failures. Let's not forget that she cut some spending, tried to lower pension costs and lowered the sales tax. Not all of those played out, but lets look at the whole story instead of acting like she was just created in a CTU lab to do their bidding.
