The Chicago Tribune reported Friday that Congressman and mayoral candidate Jesús “Chuy” García is referenced in court filings in former Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan’s corruption case. Incumbent Mayor Lori Lightfoot has been going after García’s ties to Madigan in an ad, but the City Cast Chicago team says the attack seems thin. Host Jacoby Cochran, lead producer Carrie Shepherd, and producer Simone Alicea catch you up on the latest election news, including a recap of Thursday’s mayoral debate and an overview of wards likely to see new alders.
