Chicago’s Latino community is a historically overlooked player in local politics but is expected to be important in the mayoral race, with Jesús “Chuy” García the perceived beneficiary. Despite making up roughly 30% of the city’s population, Chicago’s Latino voter turnout tends to be much smaller than that of Black and white residents.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Will African American voters vote for a Hispanic candidate? They haven’t historically. They went with Rahm in 2015.
