Mayor Rahm Emanuel and his four challengers appeared before the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board on Tuesday for the first of five mayoral debates scheduled to occur before Chicago’s Feb. 24 elections.
During the 90 minute debate, Emanuel, Alderman Bob Fioretti (2nd), Cook County Commissioner Jesus “Chuy” Garcia (D-Chicago), businessman and philanthropist Willie Wilson, and perennial candidate William “Dock” Walls discussed economic development, education, transportation, and TIF reform.
