I am a Democrat. I have been one all of my life.
Chicago’s neighborhoods have always been the city’s greatest strength.
But always I was a private citizen whose activities in government or political party were appointive.
City employees will be hired and promoted because of their abilities - without outside interference.
Our universities and museums are respected around the country.
The people ask much, often more than any government can give. We must resist the temptation to promise solutions to all problems.
