The candidates focused on mobilizing their bases and generating turnout in the bitterly contested race.
Chicago mayoral candidates Brandon Johnson and Paul Vallas ended the final weekend of the race by fanning out across the city, from a Dungeons and Dragons-themed bar in Avondale to churches around the South and West sides.
Mayoral candidate Brandon Johnson hugs Rhoda Rae Gutierrez at campaign stop at 6th Ward aldermanic candidate William Hall’s office Sunday.Johnson visited an Indian restaurant in the 40th ward where he marveled at a comic book-style shirt depicting the candidate as a cartoon battling a shadowy, winged Vallas.He also visited two more offbeat stores in Avondale: the heavy metal record and comic book store Bucket O’ Blood, and the Dungeons & Dragons-themed bar DMen Tap.
Ald. Silvana Tabares, 23rd, kicked off the event with an attack on Johnson, who has faced criticism for previously supporting the “defund the police” movement. “I am a candidate who has balanced billion-dollar budgets and I’m running against a candidate who can’t even pay his water bill and hasn’t run anything,” Vallas said.
“That is the essence of this really wicked economy, where our people wake up every single day chasing down an economy that’s behind us, while everything in front of us is crumbling,” Johnson said. “But that is really why I’m running to become the next mayor of the city of Chicago.”He again nodded to the anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s death falling on Election Day: “We won’t just commemorate the assassination of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
