Chicago mayoral candidates, Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson, both secure another endorsement with the election a little more than three weeks away.

"I look forward to working with Paul Vallas," Alderman Matt O'Shea, 19th Ward. "I think it's appropriate today that we invite a neighbor, a friend, Mr. Paul Vallas here. And I'm proud to give him my endorsement."

Trotter previously endorsed businessman Willie Wilson in his failed bid for the city's top seat and says he was encouraged by Wilson to endorse Vallas."I feel that Brandon Johnson is the choice for the people and the choice for the city," Trotter said.
