My prediction is that Julie and John Kelly quickly become targets of the DSA-Antifa pressure ecosystem, proving the point of the campaign. Chicago’s ruling class has tolerated disorder, school failure, street violence, business flight, and civic humiliation for too long. A serious law-and-order campaign threatens more than an incumbent mayor. It threatens the patronage web, the activist nonprofits, the union muscle, and the ideological operators who treat decline as a governing model. Courage is not the absence of risk. It is walking into the arena anyway. Julie Kelly knows lawfare. Now the Kellys are walking into Chicago politics.
I wish him the very best, Chicago needs new law and order leadership. I would definitely vote for him if I could, maybe I’ll sneak in a mail in ballot. I look forward to watching him and listening to his voice for all Chicagoans. I cannot vote for him however I will send him a donation! Now on the victory!
Good luck to him!! Johnson is so unbelievably awful, he deserves to be banned from the city for life. Taking on Chicago’s political machine is not going to be easy, so best wishes to him!!
I don't know anything about your husband Julie. But if YOU are married to him, that's good enough for me.
Chicago is my go-to example for what happens when law and order falls by the wayside. The authorities there have decided they're not going to lock up any more of the brothers. Chicago extrapolated to a national scale is why 6% of the population (black males) is responsible for more that 50% of the most violent crime.
Anyone who wants to play with the statistics should ask Grok these two sets of questions:
1) What percent of violent crimes in the US are committed by black males? Answer: Around 25-35% for overall violent crime arrests (depending on year and definition), but significantly higher (~50%+) for the most serious subsets like murder and robbery.
2) in an average year, what percent of murder victims are black males? How many males are murdered, and how many black males are murdered in an average year? Answer: In recent years (e.g., 2023 data), Black males make up roughly 50-55% of known murder victims in the US, despite being about 6-7% of the population.
For clarity, I don't think black people are genetically more violent that any other race of people. But young males raised in a home without a male figure definitely are. It doesn't matter what their race is.
Best of luck!
This is great news. Your family has already given so much with your investigations Julie, I applaud your husband's decision. God Bless.
I would vote for him if I lived in chiraq.
Hey - if he's running as a demoncrat, maybe I can vote for him, anyway?
Best of luck.
