This news is not a big surprise, but earlier this morning, Richard M. Daley announced that he will seek re-election for a sixth term as Chicago's mayor. Chicago has non-partisan elections and uses a run-off system--the first round will take place in February.
Despite various scandals that are plaguing his current term, because of weak opposition, Daley is a heavy favorite for re-election.
The city electoral action will be for the seats of Chicago's 50 alderman. During the run-up to the vote and subsequent Daley veto of the "big box living ordinance," labor leaders threatened to finance opponents of that bill.
