Standing before his supporters Tuesday night, Jesus \u201cChuy\u201d Garcia said he looks forward to April\u2019s run-off election\u00a0 and promises to keep Chicago\u2019s working class at the forefront of his mind if elected mayor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis city deserves a mayor who will put people first, not big money\u2019s special interests. I will be that mayor,\u201d Garcia said in a celebratory speech at the Alhambra Palace restaurant in the West Loop.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Garcia will continue the race for Chicago mayor in a run-off election April 7 against Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who fell short of garnering more than\u00a0 50 percent of votes needed to secure his re-election.<\/p>\n

\"CHUY<\/a>Jesus “Chuy” Garcia said Tuesday he believes the additional six weeks of campaigning will help increase his name recognition among voters\u00a0 Meg Anderson\/MEDILL.<\/p>\n

Garcia said earlier Tuesday after voting at Corkery Elementary School on the West Side that he believes the added six weeks will give the candidates a chance to engage in a deep debate about the issues affecting Chicago.<\/p>\n

During his Tuesday night speech, Garcia already began to bring the issues close to Chicago\u2019s working class into the spotlight, touching on gun violence and public school closings.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got six weeks of hard work ahead of us,\u201d Garcia said before leaving his chanting supporters. \u201cWe\u2019re going to fight and we\u2019re going to work hard and we\u2019re going to win. We\u2019re going to take this city together.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
