Mayoral and Aldermanic Endorsements
This year’s election comes at a critical time when the City of Chicago faces great challenges. The Association’s Political Action Committee looked carefully at the responses to our questionnaires that were sent to all of the candidates. Of the mayoral candidates that responded and appeared in front of the Committee, Bob Fioretti responded most favorably to our concerns regarding pensions, promotions, retiree health care, and overall strategies to combat crime and violence. Additionally, Bob Fioretti expressed his vision for the future of the Police Department and the City of Chicago, which ultimately led to the decision to endorse Bob Fioretti for Mayor of the City of Chicago. We ask that you support the candidacy of Bob Fioretti and to urge your family and friends to support him as well. The Committee relied on the questionnaires and support from members and community to recommend these endorsements. We ask that you support all of the Association’s endorsed candidates, but most importantly, participate in the election process by voting in February.
