We’ve been hearing a lot about
Chicago’s mayoral candidates:
who’s going to run and challenges to certain candidate’s bid for mayor.
But one of the more interesting races for mayor isn’t even
Chicago but just across Lake Michigan from us in
Gary,
Indiana. Several candidates have come forward to throw their hat in the ring to lead
Northwest Indiana’s largest city.
And even though the primary isn’t for another five months there’s excitement in the air.
WBEZ’s Northwest Indiana reporter Michael Puenter spoke with WBEZ’s Melba Lara about the race.
