Chicago mayoral candidates’ platform points in 140 characters or less

RedEye let each of the Chicago mayoral candidates sound off on one point — whatever they wanted without any rules except for limiting their message to a tweet style of 140 characters or less.

These messages will run in RedEye’s print version in the days leading up until the Feb. 24 mayoral election.

Editor’s note: The following are not real tweets sent by the candidates. Instead they are RedEye photo illustrations crafted with the responses provided by each of the five candidates for mayor.
