Rahm looks ahead to a possible third term
Mayor Rahm Emanuel is only a year into his second term as mayor, but there are signs that he’s preparing for another run in February 2019. Emanuel told the Tribune that he has “every intention of running again” but he’ll have to discuss a final decision with his wife, Amy Rule. He also has “made a concerted push toward resolving three crucial issues that could determine whether he’s able to rehabilitate himself enough to run for re-election,” according to the newspaper. He compromised with the Chicago Teachers Union to avoid a strike Tuesday, introduced a new water and sewer bill tax to fund pensions, and pushed a new plan to hire hundreds of new cops and revamp police training.
