The Chicago municipal election is less than a month away, and candidates for the city’s top job are racking up endorsements as they work to court voters.

As recent polls show mayoral challenger Paul Vallas surging and U.S. Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia fading, Garcia is pushing an attack against Vallas that Mayor Lori Lightfoot has used for weeks: that Vallas is a “fake Democrat” who is, in reality, an anti-choice Republican and a threat to women’s rights.
