(WBBM NEWSRADIO) - 15th Ward Alderman Raymond Lopez announced Tuesday morning that he will run in next year’s Chicago mayoral race.
Known as a frequent critic of current Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Lopez took to Twitter at 6 a.m. to make his declaration.
“I love my city and, like most Chicagoans, I am sick and tired of watching Chicago flounder at the hands of a rudderless ship. The time is now to provide our great city with the compassion and leadership it deserves. I’m in, and I hope Chicago will join me,” Lopez said in a press release announcing his candidacy.
Lopez later held a news conference on the South Side at a 15th Ward restaurant.
