Who's challenging whom for Chicago mayor?

The election season bloodsport known as petition objections began this week with accusations flying and rare challenges to a sitting Chicago mayor. Why it matters: This quadrennial process could greatly narrow the field of mayoral and aldermanic candidates. But it also reflects a legacy of complicated rules that appear designed to favor those with established campaign structures, making the challenges to Mayor Brandon Johnson all the more noteworthy. How it works: To enter the race, mayoral candidates need 12,500 valid signatures from registered voters who have not signed another mayoral candidate's petition. That's way more than New York (3,750) and Los Angeles (500). The big picture: Objectors have filed challenges against 12 of the 16 people seeking mayoral candidacy and at least eight current members of the Chicago City Council. The person filing the challenge often declines to reveal whether a candidate has backed the effort. Former State Sen. Rickey Hendon speaks at the Chicago Board of Elections Monday. Photo: Monica Eng/Axios The intrigue: Johnson is facing two challenges. One is led by former state Sen. Rickey Hendon, who the Sun-Times reports is working for candidate Willie Wilson . The other is from conservative group Chicago Flips Red, advised by

“Surprised”: Tom Izzo Makes His Opinion Around Jon Scheyer’s Duke Absolutely Clear Following Michigan State’s Win

Duke walked into Chicago on Tuesday night looking like one of the toughest teams in the country. The Blue Devils were ranked No. 2; they had opened the season with two blowout wins, and they came with one of the deepest rosters in college basketball. Michigan State, ranked No. 5, had other plans. They led from start to finish and won 79-73. Afterward, in an interview, Tom Izzo said something that sounded more like praise for Duke than a victory speech. “I am a little surprised, ’cause I think they’re a really, really good team, and I feel bad saying that because then it looks like, ‘oh, John d...
