Chicago, IL -
Chicago mayoral hopefuls are spending Presidents Day campaigning throughout the city ahead of Tuesday's election, hoping to knock any fence-sitters into their camps.
Former U.S. Sen. Carol Moseley Braun rallied supporters at a South Side ballroom. Former Chicago Board of Education President Gery Chico campaigned in Beverly and Chinatown. Former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel visited a North Side senior center and a South Side restaurant. And City Clerk Miguel del Valle greeted commuters on the North Side and met with reporters at his campaign headquarters.
