AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Election 2026: With Election Day 10 days away, Chicago-area groups are rallying voters to cast early ballots. Senate candidate Juliana Stratton is campaigning on health care and the cost of living, while mail-in and early voting in McHenry County is up 40% from the last midterm. Chicago Budget: Mayor Brandon Johnson’s proposed $17.6 billion 2027 budget faces pushback over new taxes and fees as the city confronts an $882 million gap. Johnson has also filed to run for reelection. Evanston Reparations: A federal judge has allowed the Justice Department to join a lawsuit challenging Evanston’s reparations program, which offers eligible Black residents or descendants benefits valued at $25,000. State Government: Republican Rep. Dan Ugaste has proposed a constitutional amendment to let voters recall elected officials beyond the governor, with petition thresholds varying by office. Transit Safety: The CTA has launched a pilot placing trained Safe Ride Specialists at key stations and bus terminals to help de-escalate incidents and connect riders with support.
