Chicago Mayor campaigns
The mayoral campaign record should identify Chicago's citywide electorate and committee.
Chicago municipal boundary: Census cartographic data; not a ward or council-district map.
Built around your mayor.
Campaign identity
Use the committee’s campaign identity; keep official government notices separate.
Jurisdiction and scope
Chicago Mayor is an elected municipal office; use the official citywide or consolidated-government contest record.
Replies and opt-outs
Assign response coverage and keep suppression records current.
SMS or MMS. The format your campaign needs.
Plan this Mayor campaign
Ward-based event organization is useful logistics but does not create 50 separate mayoral candidacies. Preserve the citywide identity across invitations and distinguish the campaign's reply destination from official city-service communications.
The local seat and context
Chicago Mayor is an elected municipal office; use the official citywide or consolidated-government contest record.
Chicago's ward council contests are separate from citywide Mayor, City Clerk, and City Treasurer contests. Cook County is a wider jurisdiction than Chicago.
