A new nonpartisan poll from Northwestern University’s Center for the Study of Diversity and Democracy found that among Black voters, crime, cost of living and police accountability are the top concerns when voting for the next mayor of Chicago. The same survey found the vast majority of likely Black voters support more funding for youth programs, more affordable housing and increased funding for all public schools.
“I think there are a couple of issues related to transit,” Freeman said. “One is ensuring consistent and reliable public transportation. We certainly need higher quality services to support broad ridership and to ensure that this resource, which is a necessity for so many people, is not lost or decimated. Historically when cuts happen because of low ridership, Black and Brown communities are always disproportionately impacted.
Communities United youth leader Jermal Ray will be voting for the first time in this election. He said young voters like him are looking for a leader who will address the city’s pervasive violence, take care of its economically disadvantaged Chicagoans and listen to the concerns of its young residents.
