My guest this week is Chicago mayoral candidate Lori Lightfoot.
Lori has an extensive background in the law, including as a former assistant U.S. attorney, Chair of the Police Accountability Task Force created by Mayor Rahm Emanuel, and President of the Chicago Police Board. If elected, she would be the Chicago’s first black woman and first openly gay mayor. We talked about the challenges facing Chicago and what it takes to run for political office.
You can find out more about her at her website.
