Wilson calls out Johnson, Giannoulias for corruption, abuse of Chicago taxpayers
Mayoral Candidate Willie Wilson says both Johnson and Giannoulis are “Bankrupt on Ethics”
CHICAGO, IL — Mayoral candidate Dr. Willie Wilson today released the following statement blasting Mayor Brandon Johnson after news reports stated that he is using taxpayer money to promote his own political campaign.
A self-made businessman, entrepreneur and philanthropist, Dr. Wilson connected Mayor Johnson’s blatant corruption with similarly brazen acts by fellow candidate Alexi Giannoulias, who is abusing city and state taxpayers by running for two elected offices simultaneously.
As the only true outsider candidate for Mayor who is not a career politician controlled by special interests, Dr. Wilson is calling for both Mayor Johnson and Giannoulias to immediately stop their abuse of Chicago taxpayers:
“Government is failing the people at every level because we have career politicians and insiders like Brandon Johnson and Alexi Giannoulias continuing to screw us over and put their own interests ahead of residents,” said Dr. Wilson.
“On the issue of government corruption, Johnson and Giannoulias are one and the same — they both use taxpayer resources to enrich themselves and promote their political agenda while too many people barely scrape by. We need change in government, not just in Washington but here in Chicago, and I’m the only candidate for Mayor with the independent record to deliver that change and finally make our city safe and affordable for every neighborhood.”
ABOUT DR. WILSON:
A son of sharecroppers who built tremendously successful businesses, Dr. Willie Wilson is running for Mayor of Chicago to deliver the independent leadership the city desperately needs. Dr. Wilson will fight to lower the cost of necessities like groceries and housing, decrease taxes on the middle class, increase standards at public schools, reduce crime and restore public safety in every neighborhood, and much more.
