Elections are coming up fast the public’s agenda, one that is particularly significant to me in the Chicago mayor election. Rahm Emanuel, who was once the chief of staff for Obama, announced Sunday that he will join the democratic running for mayor of Chicago. His campaign aims to reconnect with local Chicago voters. This is why he appeared so laid back and casual in his announcement video he posted on his website. This was his attempt of relating with the voters. He also mentioned his past connections with Chicago in the video, noting his three terms representing a North Side district in Congress, which as we learned in lecture is a elite/majoritarian group that is elected by the mass public to represent them. One of the unofficial actors, the media, has proclaimed his as a “shoe in” for the position.
