Mike Quigley has entered the 2027 Chicago mayoral race, and Matt Brewer has also announced a campaign. Brandon Johnson still has not said whether he will run again, which keeps the contest unsettled. The superintendent search is adding more pressure around his decision. Quigley’s entry gives the race a more established challenger and may tighten attention on Johnson’s path. Johnson’s unresolved reelection plans keep uncertainty high.
The Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability has until Nov. 12 —120 days from the July 15 date of Larry Snelling's resignation— to conduct a nationwide search, interview candidates and present the names of three finalists to Mayor Brandon Johnson. Political uncertainty created by a competitive mayoral campaign is likely to limit the number of candidates.
