The announcement, not surprisingly, took the tone of an Illinois Democratic Party love fest – and brought out all of the state's political heavy-hitters.
In addition to Mayor Lightfoot, Gov. JB Pritzker, Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth , Illinois House Speaker Emanuel"Chris" Welch , former Illinois Senate President John Cullerton, and Blackhawks owner Rocky Wirtz were also all present.Those on the podium took a few questions, including how the city will keep delegates, and convention sites, safe.
Kozlov also asked what sort of infrastructure improvements were expected to be necessary in the city prior to the convention. "We don't want to have specific dollar amounts that we're going to put on the table today, but whatever is necessary, we're going to get it done," said Mayor Lightfoot. "You know, Michael and Scottie, they didn't know who was going to take the final shot – so they asked Steve Kerr, so I'm obviously Steve Kerr today," Johnson said."So I took the final shot – here we are, Chicago."
