Who are you going to vote for? In the US to get elected for any public office you need external funding, and to raise that you need to demonstrate that you are willing to return favours. No, the swamp isn't going to support those who would drain it.

At the city level you don't need much money. Even state politics often don't need a lot of money. National level does money though.

Agreed in general, although given the reputation of Chicago politics, I’m not sure that would have been the case here.

It has worked in the past. Minneapolis has changed a lot of ordinances to restrict towing.
