Less than a month ago, Rahm was booted off the Chicago mayoral ballot after the court decided he wasn’t a “legal” resident of Chicago. Weeks later he sits atop the throne of Chicago. You’ve gotta respect that move. He’s got the juice now.
“Thank you Chicago for this humbling victory,” a smiling Emanuel told supporters. “All I can say, you sure know how to make a guy feel at home.”
“It is easy to find differences, but we can never allow them to become divisions. Tonight we are moving forward in the only way we truly can. Together. As one city, with one future.”
“It’s you. It’s the hard-working, plain-speaking folks who share a love for their city and a determination to keep it strong,” he said. “I share that love and I am determined with your help to meet our challenges head on and to make a great city even greater.”
“While this election was hard-fought, it was only the beginning,” he said. “We have not won anything until a kid can go to school thinking of their studies and not their safety…Or until the parents of that child is thinking about their work and not where they’re going to find work, we have not won anything. The real work of building a better future begins tonight.”
rest in peace J Dilla
