Succession in Chicago.
Cook County Commissioner Jesús “Chuy” García will be running for Congress after veteran Chicago congressman Luis Gutiérrez announced he will not seek reelection and endorsed García. If nominated by Democrats in March, the immigrant-rights advocate and progressive champion has all but assured his election to Congress, in a heavily Latino and Democratic district.
Guest: Jesús García, Cook County Commissioner, Former Candidate to Chicago Mayor, Chicago, IL.
House Race to Watch. Among the House races to watch in 2018, the contest for a toss-up district in Miami is becoming a key battleground for the control of the House. Republican incumbent Carlos Curbelo, who controls a district won by Hillary Clinton by a double-digit margin, is facing a formidable challenge from Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, a community healthcare leader born in Ecuador who has been endorsed by Emily’s List, the progressive powerhouse organization that gets women elected to office.
Guest: Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, Candidate, Florida’s 26th Congressional District, Miami, FL.
