Early Voting and the Mayoral Race


Early voting starts today in the mayoral runoff election. The latest polls show a widening lead for Mayor Rahm Emanuel, but campaign reporters say they are seeing a lot of support for Cook County Commissioner Jesús "Chuy" García in the neighborhoods. We get an update on the election from our news panel. Joining us are Chicago Tonight political reporter Paris Schutz, WBEZ city politics reporter Lauren Chooljian, Chicago Tribune reporter Bill Ruthhart, and Reuters reporter Mary Wisniewski.
