Social worker Anjanette Young, who was forced to stand naked while an all-male team of police officers mistakenly raided her home — the wrong home — on Tuesday endorsed mayoral challenger Brandon Johnson.
Young’s decision to choose one of the eight candidates seeking to deny
Young said Lightfoot is "mistaken" when she says it’s a two-candidate race between her and former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas. She is "equally mistaken when she says she is the only viable Black candidate," Young said. Lightfoot has argued her own search warrant reforms go plenty far enough and that Chicago Police Department policy cannot be dictated by the City Council.
Last fall, a City Council committee shot down more sweeping search warrant reforms that, among other things, would have required that warrants be executed only after a "written plan" using the "least intrusive" tactics possible. "Imagine it was your mother who was standing there. … None of us would have wanted our mother to have that type of experience. Well, guess what? I’m someone’s mother. … See me as your mother. Someone who deserves dignity and respect, regardless of the situation," Young said at that time.
