Karen Lewis is not running for mayor of Chicago

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Karen Lewis will not try to unseat Mayor Rahm Emanuel, the head of her exploratory committee said Monday.

The feisty leader of the Chicago Teachers Union, who suffers from a “serious illness,” will not run for mayor, Jay Travis said in a statement.

“Karen Lewis has decided to not pursue a mayoral bid,” Travis said. ” Yet she charges us to continue fighting for strong neighborhood schools, safe communities, and good jobs for everyone.

Strongman Rahm Emanuel gets lucky, again.
