John Kelly, a seasoned Chicago lobbyist and mayoral candidate, is rolling out a bold plan to overhaul the city’s infrastructure—swearing in 20 new ambulances, 1,000 more cops, and brand-new fire trucks while blaming the current mayor for gutting police resources. He vows to prioritize taxpayers, say no to big-money interests like Bally’s and the White Sox owner, and even divest from his lobbying firm if elected. Kelly also eyes video gambling terminals as a revenue lifeline, leveraging his Springfield connections to secure better deals. Though he calls himself a moderate Democrat, his conservative wife—who backs Trump and January 6 protesters—is in the spotlight too, amid a lawsuit over their home’s construction costs. Despite the baggage, Kelly insists his insider experience is exactly what Chicago needs to fix its crumbling systems.
