[UPChicago]

CTU is tainted by the legacy of Karen Lewis, and I can understand how that might leave a bad taste in people's mouths. I don't think that endorsement or any other for that matter is going to affect the way she leads. Her position on schools is more community focused whereas Rahm's was economic-focused. This disconnect from a community focused outlook on leading the city is why Rahm won't serve a third term. Clearly, Chicago is seeking a leader that sees more than just downtown and economic factors as important. I also think Preckwinkle, more than any other candidate, is willing to make the hard choices needed to put this city's finances back on track because she has done it with the County. All that said, I also think Lori is a good candidate as well and shares many of the same qualities; if she wins, I think her and Preckwinkle will work closely together.
