Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is defending the city’s progress on public safety, highlighting a historic drop in homicides — the fewest in 60 years — while pushing for long-term solutions like youth programs and affordable housing over policing alone. As Chicago searches for a new police superintendent, Johnson seeks a leader who sees public safety as a holistic issue. Facing a budget shortfall, he’s calling for higher taxes on the wealthy and big corporations to avoid layoffs. Though some policies haven’t hit the mark, he stands by his approach, learning as he goes. And while he hasn’t officially announced reelection plans, he’s focused on building safer communities — and may decide soon after helping his son move into college.
