Mayoral Candidates - Who Is Bike Savvy? Thoughts?

When asking around, I heard these three candidates are some potential good bike-friendly options:

Mendoza

Lightfoot

Eniya

Let's use this thread to discuss, bring in articles, quotations, and proof of bike-savviness. Cool?

 ^Chicago Tribune photo of early voting cyclist Macaire Grambauer, 34, bike gear and all. Come on in with yours today !  It will be quick to vote today because of the short list of municipal offices to choose opon. Should only take around 15 minutes tops to vote. You must vote at the precinct assigned to your home address today. Polls are open from 6am till 7pm.

At 9:15 in my precinct, I was number 39.

Hope lots of early voting.

When it comes to politics, just have to say WSWS is really great! WSWS has had coverage of the mayoral election. The latest article is from before the vote: "Chicago mayoral run-off: The cost-cutter or the cop?".
