While attending Truth on the Beach on Sunday, I couldn't help but think. Why are taxpayers being charged to park at public beaches and parks that our tax dollars already pay for? Chicagoans are taxed at every turn. While all these elected officials here continue to receive raises. Instead of finding ways to cut wasteful spending, City Hall keeps finding new and creative ways to take more money from working families. It's as if no amount of taxation is ever enough. This is exactly why I am running for Mayor. While some elected officials want to abolish ICE, my administration is going to abolish unnecessary, burdensome taxes and fines that Chicagoans shouldn't have to pay when we're already taxed enough. One of my top priorities during my first 100 days will be launching forensic audits across city government to identify waste, fraud, abuse, and unnecessary spending. We need to find where money is being wasted and reallocate those funds to provide relief to taxpayers. Chicago doesn't have a revenue problem, it has a spending and stealing problem. As Mayor, I will work to reduce the burden on homeowners, taxpayers, businesses, seniors, and working families. We should be looking for ways to lower costs, not create new fees and taxes. There is no reason Chicagoans should feel nickel-and-dimed every time they want to enjoy a public park or public beach that their tax dollars already fund.

These meetings are a joke. All we get is recycled talking points, excuses, and a front-row seat to watch how our tax dollars are being wasted. That's it. Nothing discussed in these meetings is focused on helping the taxpaying citizens of Chicago. Nothing. They give the appearance that they're fighting for you. They give the appearance that they're discussing solutions to improve your life. But when you sit through these meetings and watch what actually happens, you see the truth. The citizens come last. The agenda comes first. I've attended meeting after meeting at City Hall, Cook County, CPS, and other government bodies. The more you watch, the more you realize how disconnected these elected officials are from the people paying the bills. As Mayor, I will change that. My administration will launch forensic audits of city departments, contracts, grants, and taxpayer-funded programs. We will identify waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption and make the findings public. Every department receiving taxpayer dollars will be required to show results and public reports. Failed programs will no longer receive money. I will create a Chicago DOGE Office dedicated to rooting out wasteful spending and ensuring taxpayer money is spent on public safety, neighborhood investment, infrastructure, economic development, and services that benefit Chicago citizens. My administration will show transparent spending reports so citizens can see where their money is going. No more political favors, who you know, or insider deals. Chicagoans deserve accountability, transparency, and leadership that puts citizens first. The grift is over. The people are paying attention now. Every elected official is on notice. The days of wasting taxpayer dollars and putting politicians before citizens are coming to an end. Vote for Danielle Carter-Walters for Mayor of Chicago in 2027. Chicagoans First. Accountability First. #DanielleCarterWaltersForMayor2027 #CommonSenseCarter #ChicagoMayor2027

Thank you NEWSMAX .Anyone who's mad at me or saying I'm lying. Maybe you should start coming to City Hall and talking to the homeowners who have been fighting these issues for years. Go speak with the citizens who have been showing up meeting after meeting, trying to protect their homes, neighborhoods, and communities. I've been fighting on their behalf, especially as property taxes have skyrocketed and, in many cases, nearly tripled. I don't just make things up or repeat talking points. I spend time talking to the people affected, attending meetings, and listening to citizens who are living through these problems every day. I'm REALLY about the Chicago citizens. I will always stand with the people and fight for the homeowners, taxpayers, small businesses, and families who call Chicago home. As Mayor, my Chicagoans First platform will focus on, Freezing property taxes and providing relief for homeowners. Conducting forensic audits to identify waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars. Cutting red tape and unnecessary fees so small businesses can grow and create jobs. Revitalizing vacant commercial corridors and blighted neighborhoods. Improving public safety so families and businesses can thrive. Supporting local hiring, apprenticeship programs, and trade education. Protecting longtime citizens from being displaced from their communities. Ensuring every neighborhood gets a seat at the table and receives the attention and investment it deserves. I don't work for the MACHINE. I work for the people. My mission is simple, put Chicago citizens first, rebuild our neighborhoods, protect homeowners, support small businesses, and make sure every community has the opportunity to thrive. Danielle Carter-Walters for Mayor 2027 Chicagoans First. Always. #daniellecarterwaltersformayor2027 #commonsensecarter #justicecarter

SOUTH SHORE, WHAT I SAW I recently visited the South Shore community and spoke with citizens and small business owners about their concerns. I walked blocks of abandoned businesses and vacant buildings around 71st & Merrill and 71st & Clyde. This is personal to me. I grew up near 68th & Paxton, and I remember when these streets were full of thriving businesses, families shopping, and a strong sense of community. To see it looking like this today is heartbreaking. This is what Democratic policies have produced while claiming to create an affordable Chicago. THE PROBLEM The business owners we spoke with said they are barely holding on because of: • High property taxes • Crime and retail theft • Inflation • Rising operating costs • Excessive regulations Unfortunately, this is not just a South Shore problem. Communities across Chicago are facing the same challenges. WHAT I WOULD DO AS MAYOR My administration would implement a Small Business Recovery & Relief Plan focused on. • Property tax relief for struggling small businesses and grants to help them stay in business • Cutting unnecessary regulations and fees • Streamlining permits and licensing • Making it easier to open and operate businesses in Chicago PUBLIC SAFETY FIRST Businesses cannot thrive without safety. My administration would: • Increase police presence in business corridors • Crack down on retail theft, vandalism, and repeat offenders by locking them up and keeping them there • Restore order in commercial districts • Help business owners focus on growing their businesses instead of worrying about crime ACCOUNTABILITY FOR YOUR TAX DOLLARS I will launch forensic audits to track where taxpayer dollars are going. Citizens deserve to know: • How their money is being spent • Whether resources are reaching the communities they were intended to help • Why some neighborhoods continue to be left behind Every community deserves investment, opportunity, and a seat at the table. REVITALIZING SOUTH SHORE My administration will work to: • Allow citizens to invest in and own businesses within their own communities • Revitalize commercial corridors like 71st Street • Fill vacant storefronts • Attract new businesses • Support existing business owners • Create jobs for local citizens I will also meet regularly with citizens in every ward to ensure their voices are heard and that aldermen are using community resources effectively. South Shore Citizens does not have to live like this. Chicago does not have to live like this. We can bring our neighborhoods back, support our small businesses, improve public safety, and restore pride in our communities. That's the future I'm fighting for, and that's why I'm running for Mayor of Chicago.

Please listen, and share. Mayor Brandon Johnson held a press conference to announce what he calls the Protecting Renters Ordinance. But we're not playing these games anymore. Chicago taxpayers know the city paid 9,000 dollars a month to house illegal aliens, while many Chicago citizens were pushed out of apartment buildings because landlords could receive higher payments. We also know proposals were made to protect those illegal aliens from eviction, even as many Chicago citizens continued to struggle. So here's my question: Where was the Protecting Homeownership Ordinance? When property taxes on the South and West Sides skyrocketed, and in some cases tripled, why wasn't there an ordinance to protect Chicago homeowners? Why wasn't there a property tax freeze for the citizens who worked their entire lives to pay off their homes, only to risk losing them because of rising taxes? Why wasn't an executive order issued to protect Chicago citizens? As Mayor, my administration will end Chicago's sanctuary city policies, and Chicago citizens will come first. When I propose a property tax freeze or homeownership protections, there will be no confusion about who those policies are for, they will be for the citizens of Chicago. I will not apologize for putting Chicago citizens first. That's exactly what I intend to do as Mayor.
