A Chicago alderman is jumping into a race for Congress.
Current alderman of the 15th Ward, Ray Lopez, will run against U.S. Rep. Jesús "Chuy" García, D-Chicago, in the Fourth Congressional District.

I appreciate their faith in me, in my abilities, to work towards common sense solutions to some of our toughest problems," Lopez said Tuesday morning.
