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.
