About our Brandon Johnson news

Latest news on Brandon Johnson, an American educator and politician serving as the 57th mayor of Chicago. A member of the Democratic Party, Johnson was elected mayor in April 2023. Johnson served on the Cook County Board of Commissioners from 2018 to 2023, representing the 1st district.

Johnson defeated Paul Vallas, a former CEO of the Chicago Public Schools, in a runoff between two Democrats to take over a city grappling with crime, an issue that dominated the race. Johnson, a former Chicago teacher and union organizer, ran on a platform of addressing racial and economic disparities and investing in people.
