Davis to announce for Chicago mayor Sunday
Congressman Danny Davis plans to formally announce his bid for Chicago mayor this weekend.
The Democrat has been endorsed by a coalition of black leaders. He's planning his announcement for Sunday morning at the Allegro Hotel in downtown Chicago.
In September, Mayor Richard Daley said he wouldn't seek a seventh term.
Davis joins others who have announced their candidacy or are considering running for Chicago mayor.
They are City Clerk Miguel del Valle, former Chicago school board president Gery Chico, former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, former U.S. Sen. Carol Moseley Braun and state Sen. James Meeks, a South Side pastor.
Emanuel is set to formally announce his bid on Saturday and Meeks will do the same on Sunday night.
