Chicago murders increase, Dems pro-crime agenda unpopular

Axios reports “Democrats, in private and public, are warning that rising crime — and the old and new progressive calls to defund the police — represent the single biggest threat to their electoral chances in 2022.”

In Chicago, homicides are up 37% in 2021.
 
But Chicago-area representatives Sean Casten, Lauren Underwood, and Marie Newman have been silent on the spike in violent crime and instead supported legislation that undermines law enforcement.

Illinois families can’t count on Sean Casten, Lauren Underwood, and Marie Newman to keep them safe.
