Mayors Brandon Johnson and Lori Lightfoot: Discuss

How’s Brandon Johnson doing a year into his term as Chicago mayor? Any better than Lori Lightfoot did? We’ll discuss with a couple of old friends and veteran mayor watchers: Gregory Royal Pratt, the Tribune‘s City Hall reporter and author of a new book about Lightfoot, The City Is Up for Grabs; and Brandon Pope, the host of On the Block, Block Club Chicago’s TV show on WCIU channel 26. Guarantee: they will have opinions!

Blue Thursday, we hope you know, is a monthly political happy hour where we mingle, imbibe, gossip, and hear the latest from pols, press, and pundits. It happens at the Hideout, the city’s most excellent saloon. Bar opens at 5:30, program starts at 6. It’s free and open to all, but please RSVP here. And bring several friends!

If you can’t be there in person, catch the livestream at facebook.com/IndivisibleChi or find the podcast at on.soundcloud.com/NukJf.
