“If she got re-elected, I'll move out of the city of Chicago,” Wilson said.
However, philanthropist Willie Wilson says he'll face Lightfoot in next April's runoff — despite what Garcia's poll reports.
"No, I don't believe that at all. Chuy needs to do a lot more work in my opinion. You, know, what has he done so far for Congress?" said Wilson. Wilson is a self-made multi-millionaire who has attracted national attention this year by giving away about $5 million worth of gasoline, food and mass transit fare cards.In Garcia's poll of the crowded field likely to run in Feb. 28 first-round election, Wilson was almost neck and neck with Garcia for a place in April's runoff election. "If she got re-elected, I'll move out of the city of Chicago," Wilson said.
Garcia's survey by Public Policy Polling found that, if Feb. 28's round one election were held now, Lightfoot would get 22-percent, Garcia 14-percent, Wilson 12-percent and former public schools' CEO Paul Vallas 8-percent.Garcia's poll also showed Lightfoot with 43-percent to Wilson's 35-percent in a hypothetical head-to-head, with the balance undecided.
His allies say Garcia is now spending hours on the phone each day, lining up campaign contributions as well as endorsements, in advance of launching a possible mayoral bid next week. If they do not, look for a formal campaign launch Thursday of next week, which will be 40 years to the day after Harold Washington launched his history-making fun for mayor.that I have read and agree
