Mike Ruemmler, who managed former Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s 2015 reelection campaign, said Tuesday he plans to file paperwork in the next two weeks to form an independent expenditure committee bankrolled by business leaders for the purpose of electing moderate alderpersons determined to be, as he put it, "workhorses—not show horses."
The always outspoken Sposato has said he is particularly concerned about the election of what he calls "lefty loons," which he defines as liberal alderpersons who favor more government giveaways and want to defund the police. "I’ve gotten more calls today than I have in any day since I left City Hall, of people who are interested, want to be helpful, want to be donors. Some from business. Some from organized labor. This isn’t gonna be a dark money PAC. So everybody will be able to see where the money is coming from and where it’s gonna be spent."A divided City Council on Monday handed Mayor Lori Lightfoot the $16.
"I think it is a good team and an important, smart idea. I plan to support the effort," Sacks, CEO of Grosvenor Capital Management, wrote. Of the amount that Chicago Forward spent on mayoral allies, 64 percent went to candidates forced into runoffs; 31 percent went to winners, and 5 percent went to two losers.Scott Waguespack easily won reelection after Chicago Forward spent $6,000 in a failed attempt to unseat him.
LOL Rahm’s friend took a beating last time he interfered in local politics. Another beating is foreseen. As for Sacks,just a greedy businessman who prefers the status quo of Chicago politics.
Let’s hope and pray they are successful in their quest-
