Quigley’s High-Stakes Gamble for Chicago | Chicago News

Congressman Mike Quigley is making his final political move—running for Chicago mayor with a high-stakes, no-holds-barred approach. Facing a city drowning in debt, a looming $1 billion budget gap, and a pension crisis in the tens of billions, Quigley vows to tackle the toughest issues head-on, even if it means breaking tradition. He’s proposing bold reforms: voluntary pension changes, potential layoffs to restore pre-pandemic payroll levels, and a massive push to build 50,000 affordable housing units in four years. With a new charter to empower City Council and a focus on collaboration over confrontation, Quigley positions himself as the only candidate willing to risk everything for Chicago’s future.
