Chicago mayoral candidate Paul Vallas has been endorsed by ex-CPS principal Joyce Kenner, as Toni Preckwinkle lends her support to Brandon Johnson.
exactly one month away, Paul Vallas is putting his focus on education, while Brandon Johnson is touting an endorsement from a political heavyweight.
Vallas was joined by retired Whitney Young Magnet School Principal Joyce Kenner, who led the school for 27 years before retiring last year. Kenner said she has never been a political person but supports Vallas, and she defended her former boss against criticism about his leadership in other school districts around the country, saying he's a better leader today.
"He successfully championed efforts to bring more transparency and equity to public safety," Preckwinkle said. "He's been a leader in the county's efforts to eliminate crushing medical debt. He's also been a stalwart supporter of small businesses."
