FROM CHICAGO FOR CHICAGO
I am running for Mayor because we cannot wait a day longer for a safe and just Chicago for all of us. Now is the time to invest in Chicago’s schools and their future, to give our children more pathways to success.
I grew up on Chicago’s South Side. My dad was a law enforcement officer and my mom was a public school teacher. They were both role models for children in our neighborhood.
My parents taught me the values of safety, justice, and education. They taught me the highest calling is serving others: keeping your community safe and enriching your community’s knowledge.
We need a Mayor who can bring people together to get things done. I will be that mayor for Chicago.

Build the foundation.Transform the future.
Our 4 star plan
Together, we can build the foundation for a brighter future. By reforming broken systems, we can empower our communities to find their seat at the table, giving their voice to the issues that matter most: Safety and Justice, Education, Economic Opportunity & Recovery, and Stabilizing Chicago’s Finances.
We don’t have time to waste. From his first day as mayor, Kam will tackle these challenges head-on with immediate action and a concrete vision of growing our population to 3 million Chicagoans by 2030.
SAFETY AND JUSTICE
For most of our City’s history, we have struggled to create an environment that feels safe for our families and communities. It’s time our people feel safe, seen, and heard. We have an actionable plan to do it.
Economic Opportunity & Recovery
Chicago is a city of neighborhoods, and through empowering local business owners while attracting new enterprises, together we can help communities thrive and grow.
IMPROVED EDUCATION FOR ALL
With more dollars going to the schools that need it most, more consistency for students, and holistic programming, we can transform our children’s future.
Stabilize Chicago’s Finances
Current fiscal policies have created a debt-heavy future for the generations that will follow. Chicago’s bright future relies on a fiscally responsible administration that will attract more families and businesses eager to capitalize on that future.
