CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago mayoral candidate Carol Moseley Braun says she hopes people who supported Rahm Emanuel or were undecided will take another look at her campaign.
Braun said at a news conference Monday her campaign
has always been about standing with all families in every neighborhood and that
hasn't changed.
Braun's comments came after an Illinois Appeals
Court ruled 2-1 that Emanuel doesn't meet the city's residency requirements to
run for mayor.
She called the decision "a major
milestone" for her campaign. She says she hopes it will help her raise
money.
She didn't offer any opinion on the ruling but said
she honors the rule of law.
Braun was joined at her event by civil rights
leader the Rev. Jesse Jackson and U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush.
