Arlington, VA – Today, Jessica Curtis, President of Protecting Americans Action Fund (PAAF), released the following statement regarding the outcome of the Chicago mayor’s race:
“Crime is rampant across Chicago, yet Democrats doubled down on their soft-on-crime policies by electing Brandon Johnson, who is anti-law enforcement and more progressive than the current Mayor, Lori Lightfoot. As crime continues to rise in Chicago and spills into communities across the Midwest, Protecting Americans Action Fund will be the first line of defense against elected officials who share views akin to those of Brandon Johnson and Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx. We are dedicated to electing prosecutors who will enforce our laws, so criminals are held accountable, rather than being coddled by these progressives.”
Protecting Americans Action Fund is led by Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares. The organization’s advisory board includes a wide range of individuals committed to national public safety issues.
