Chicagoans head to the polls to elect a new mayor, and the choice is stark. Paul Vallas, a moderate running on a platform of public safety and school choice, faces Brandon Johnson, an unapologetic progressive endorsed by the city teachers' union. Aaron Renn joins Manhattan Insights to discuss the city's long-term trajectory, and the reforms it must implement in order to thrive. You can find Aaron's work for City Journal here.
