Brandon Johnson, the newly elected Mayor of Chicago, will face several challenges as he takes office on Monday. Urgent issues include the influx of migrants and high levels of violent crime.
The humanitarian crisis caused by asylum-seekers descending on Chicago is “one of the most challenging” problems Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson will face, with no good options to house migrants and pay for their emergency care, according to his chief of staff.
Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson had just 41 days to put together his administration and lay the foundation to start delivering on his ambitious agenda the shortest mayoral transition in Chicago history.
