    SUSANA MENDOZA THE BATTLE FOR CHICAGO’S FUTURE | Susana Mendoza Makes Her Case for Mayor | EP. 103

    Chicago is approaching another defining moment. What kind of leadership does the city need next? Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza sits down with Los on the Flava Podcast for an in-depth conversation about her campaign for Mayor of Chicago and the experiences she believes have prepared her to lead one of America’s greatest cities. Mendoza discusses public safety, the challenges facing Chicago neighborhoods, city finances, accountability in government, economic opportunity, and what she believes needs to change at City Hall. She also talks about her record as Illinois Comptroller and makes the case for why her experience managing Illinois’ finances can translate to Chicago. But this conversation goes beyond a résumé. Los asks about the woman behind the campaign — her upbringing, the experiences that shaped her, her family, her connection to Chicago, and why she believes this is the moment to seek the mayor’s office. And then comes the question Chicago voters ultimately have to answer: Can Susana Mendoza deliver the leadership Chicago needs? Watch the full conversation and decide for yourself. 🎙️ FLAVA PODCAST WITH LOS REAL CONVERSATION.
