Gery Chico's mayoral campaign announced what's arguably their candidate's high-profile endorsement over the weekend: U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez. "Every time Gery was called to serve the people of Chicago, he delivered," Gutierrez said in a press statement released to Progress Illinois and other news outlets. "No other candidate has balanced 16 budgets. No other candidate has built bridges across racial, ethnic and geographic lines like Gery has. Gery Chico is simply the best candidate to lead Chicago right now."
