As Chicago’s 2027 mayoral race begins to take shape, Crain’s has launched a special series examining the issues that will define the campaign — and shape the city long after Election Day.
The series expands Crain’s partnership with Conor Durkin and Richard Day, authors of the Chicago policy Substack A City That Works. Durkin and Day provide deeply reported, data-driven analysis of the consequential questions facing Chicago and its next mayor. Our goal is to give voters the facts, context and analysis they need to understand what is at stake.
You can find the first three installments — and all future columns in the monthly series — here. They're also linked below.
