My 20-year-old son was murdered. I understand the pain of families that have lost loved ones. It is unconscionable that there are rules in place that prohibit police from chasing down criminals! As mayor, I will take the handcuffs off our police and put them on criminals.

I am heartbroken by the death of another Chicago Police Officer Andres Vasquez-Lasso. This five year veteran of the police department is a hero. He ran toward danger to protect someone else. My condolences to his family and friends.

On small business: In the last 30 years, I have given away $50-$60M to a lot of people who are hungry and need help paying taxes, but the city hasn’t done what they’re supposed to do. You have to lower taxes, and get rid of crime, to help small businesses thrive.
