The Chicago Teachers Union and their allies have funneled over $130,000 into a front group called "Peoples 32nd" to send out false attacks, tying me to Trump’s extreme agenda...

ABC 7 reported on CTU’s efforts to spread false information about me and other candidates citywide. When I called on Zaccor to denounce these dirty tricks by CTU, she said they were a “stretch.” …

We need representatives who always stand for truth, integrity, and transparency. No shadowy front organizations, no lies about my opponents, and no underhanded political tactics.

I’m proud to support my friend @ellenforedu for District 2 School Board. She began her career teaching 3rd grade at Hartigan and Dulles on the South Side Being a teacher is tough – even more so when our public schools don’t have the resources they need. But Ellen got to work (1)

In recent days we have seen texts, campaign ads and endorsements in support of my candidacy for school board from various organizations and individuals, including former mayoral candidate Paul Vallas, The Illinois Policy Institute and the Chicago Republicans. Let me be clear…
The anti-CTU folks backed by Juan Rangel and Paul Vallas are sending out texts against Ellen Rosenfeld using Vallas name. Vallas isn’t mayor in large part because he got stomped in the 47th ward. CTU/Johnson are definitely on their back feet here but this is a weird choice

I’m a pro-choice, pro-labor Democrat who has worked on behalf of CPS families my entire life—that’s why I am endorsed by @Chicago Federation of Labor, @Equality Illinois, @PersonalPAC & many others. The only people I am beholden to are the CPS families and students in District 4.

.@ChicagosMayor could have appointed a new @ChiPubSchools CEO anytime since he took office. To oust @PedroCPSCEO now, conveniently amid contract negotiations, raises serious concerns.
BREAKING: Mayor Brandon Johnson this week asked CPS CEO Pedro Martinez for his resignation and Martinez refused, according to multiple sources who spoke directly with Martinez. This sets up a potentially costly severance package for CPS if the board moves to terminate him.

Our schools need stability and clear eyed leadership, not chaos—and certainly not a short-term, high-interest loan. That’s just irresponsible, by any definition.
