A moment that shaped how I lead? Teaching algebra to 7th and 8th graders on Chicago’s West Side. Leadership isn’t about telling people what to do—it’s about listening, understanding, and helping them bring out their best.

I visited Christkindlmarket and heard from vendors who are struggling more than even during COVID due to City Hall’s policies. The line restrictions are having an extremely negative effect on sales, most down 40-50%.
 Shop local. Spread the word. Keep our city traditions alive.

Some down time over the holidays means picking up a good book to read. And of course, reading 1, 2, 3 Chicago with the baby! Happy holidays to all.

This campaign is rooted in a simple belief: City government should make life better and more affordable, not harder and more expensive. That means focusing on the issues that shape everyday life in Chicago and building a city people want to stay in, invest in, and believe in. joeforchicago.com.

Come take a quick tour of our new campaign headquarters at @WorkboxCompany inside the historic Civic Opera Building on Wacker Drive.

CPS blew millions on luxury travel. That isn’t leadership. Fiscal discipline is. As mayor, I will protect our money and resources, not waste it.

Great conversation this week at TechNexus. Chicago’s tech and business community showed up to talk about how we grow our economy, navigate the changes coming with AI, and make the city more affordable.

The fed’s decision to cut SNAP benefits leaves families without critical resources to put food on the table. This is personal to me as I know what it’s like to rely on food stamps. I also know this is an investment in real people and families, helping them make ends meet and get ahead in life.

“I want you to be my mayor.” This conversation in Garfield Park turned into a real talk about financial literacy, education, opportunity, and what people actually want for their families and their future. Chicago deserves more conversations like this.

Our campaign is fueled by coffee, community volunteers, and contributions! Get your campaign mug on our new merch page ☕️ joeforchicago.com/merch.html Let’s go, Chicago!

For a long time, I believed I needed every answer to start a project. I spent too long 'planning,' masking fear. But success belongs to those bold enough to try. As Twain said, trade overthinking for confidence. This vibrant bird reminds us to stay daring, visible, and move ahead. 🚁✨
