Willie Wilson’s Fourth Mayoral Bid | Chicago News

Willie Wilson is back in the Chicago mayoral race for the fourth time, declaring he’s running because the city needs a dedicated leader—and people are asking him to step up. Entering a crowded field with heavyweights like Alexi Giannoulias and Susana Mendoza, Wilson took aim at rivals seeking re-election while criticizing their moral stance. Though past runs ended outside the top two, his deep roots in South and West Side communities remain strong. He positions himself as a God-fearing, no-nonsense candidate pushing for more police funding, eliminating traffic cameras, and even multiple police superintendents. Having poured millions of his own money into previous campaigns—including $300K recently—he’s undeterred by past losses, with allies seeing his unwavering commitment as a force to be reckoned with in this year’s race.
