Burris Won't Run for Mayor
Politico reports:
Former Sen. Roland Burris (D-Ill.) won’t be running for mayor of Chicago after all.
A group of friends submitted the paperwork for him to be on the ballot, and he promised to make a decision by mid-December. Facing a Democratic field that includes including former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, former Sen. Carol Moseley Braun and Rep. Danny Davis, Burris said Friday he’s not running.“I want to thank all of those who backed me for the office of mayor and those who signed the petition, but I will not be offering myself as a candidate for mayor of Chicago,” Burris said in a statement.
And he did not endorse another candidate.
