Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : He says the city needs a lot more investment in social services to truly thrive and, to pay for it, has called for taxing jet fuel at Chicago's airports, reimposing the head tax on city employers and boosting the transfer tax on residential real estate sales of more than $1 million, among other things.
50% : Vallas is a product of the Richard M. Daley era, a former Chicago Public Schools chief who ushered in longer teacher workdays and work years as well as charter schools and regular testing.
44% : In dumping Lori Lightfoot and nominating Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson as the two finalists to succeed her in the April runoff election, Chicago voters set the stage for as stark a choice for mayor as any in modern history, pitting an unapologetic progressive in Johnson against a conservative Democrat in Vallas, each with different views on taxes, policing, education and numerous other subjects.
