The powerful Service Employees International Union Local 1 threw its support behind Brandon Johnson on Wednesday as businessman Willie Wilson endorsed Paul Vallas, the latest jockeying for support by the two mayoral candidates ahead of the April 4 runoff election.
SEIU Local 1′s endorsement gives a boost to Johnson, who already has backing from the powerful Chicago Teachers Union and is expected to vie for support from other labor organizations that went for candidates who were knocked out of the running last week. This most recent cycle, SEIU’s political funds have dropped more than $1.2 million to Johnson since the Local 73 and SEIU Healthcare endorsements. Local 73′s members work in schools, government and other social services, while Healthcare represents hospital, nursing home, home care and child care workers.
Vallas will encounter significant headwinds as a white man running on a law-and-order platform, and he’s likely to face resistance from the city’s Black political establishment as officials try to coalesce behind Johnson in the runoff. Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle endorsed Johnson this week.
