Brandon Johnson’s campaign fund has taken millions from unions with City Hall contracts – Chicago Sun-Times

Asked about his union giving money to a politician whose decisions can affect its members, a spokesman for Local 73 - representing more than 1,000 Chicago city janitors, window-washers and aviation security officers, as well as 10,000 CPS employees and 2,000 Chicago Park District employees - said, “The law allows it, so it’s appropriate.” Altogether, more than 80% of the $13.6 million that the mayor’s campaign fund has raised since late 2022 came from organized labor and affiliated organizations.
