Your support matters…The Associated Press:
Rahm Emanuel officially announced Saturday what everyone has known since he quit his job as White House chief of staff, hugged President Barack Obama and returned to Chicago: He’s in.
To the surprise of no one, Emanuel, who has long talked about his desire to be mayor, told a packed auditorium at a school on Chicago’s North Side that he is running to succeed retiring Mayor Richard Daley. The election is Feb. 22.
Emanuel represented the city’s North Side in Congress before he went to the White House. He has been actively campaigning in the city since his return about two months ago.
