Emil Jones has petitions out for Mayor.
Emil Jones Jr., the Chicago Democrat who retired more than a year ago as Illinois Senate president, said today that supporters and friends have begun collecting signatures on his behalf for a possible mayoral run.
In an interview with the Tribune, Jones said he is still “just looking” at getting the contest to succeed Mayor Richard Daley, who is not running for re-election.
“A lot of my supporters want me to run,” Jones said. “I enjoy my retirement, but I will only run if conditions are right.”
When asked what those conditions are, Jones said, “I’m not going to tell you right now.”
Sigh.
I thought his big school was Chicago State not Governors State?
Fixed–tired today.
No worries just glad we agree on something 🙂
Also planning a mayoral run is Jim Oberweis.
I kid.
But it would be hilarious, amiright?
Awesome. Seeing him hit the Latino neighborhoods would be the best.
Have you ever heard this guy talk ? Can’t understand a word he says.
Don’t think I want a former sewer worker as mayor.
