Rickey Announces for Mayor

Illinois State Sen.Rickey Hendon has announced he'll run for Mayor of Chicago.  He told his West Side weekly community meeting Monday that whoever he ends up to be the candidate, he is seeking some bargaining power on behalf of the West Side, especially within the Black caucus.  Hendon carried all but one of the city's black-dominated wards in his third-place race for the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor, and a good deal of non-black voters as well.  Lots of candidates are elbowing for position now that Mayor Daley II has announced he won't run again. The election is Feb. 22. Sign a petition and give Rickey  a chance!
