Support John Kelly for Chicago Mayor
John Kelly is running for mayor to restore the fundamentals—the basic things Chicago government owes every resident, in every neighborhood, without exception. Safe streets. Affordable homes. Schools that teach children to read. Reliable public transit. A government that answers to the people.
Today, Chicago is failing on all five. Carjackings happen in broad daylight. Homeowners are seeing property tax bills rise by hundreds of dollars a month. Too many children cannot read at grade level. The CTA becomes unsafe after dark. And City Hall remains more accountable to the political machine than to the taxpayers who fund it.
That is not bad luck. It is the result of failed leadership and a government that has forgotten its most basic responsibilities. John has spent his career building things in Chicago—not making excuses. He is running to make safety, affordability, opportunity, and accountability the work of city government again, beginning on day one.
- Safe Streets — well-resourced police working as real partners in every neighborhood
- Lower Property Taxes — grow the tax base, don't just shift the burden onto homeowners
- Kids Who Can Read — schools focused on outcomes, not politics
- Reliable Transit — a CTA that's safe at every hour, not just during rush hour
- A Modern City Charter — real accountability, with legal force behind it.
We have the people, the lake, the neighborhoods, the talent, and the economic strength to thrive. What it's missing is a City Hall that does its job. Chip in now to help build it.
