6th District Aldermanic Race: Michael McGee
Asked how he differs from his controversial father, McGee jokes about being branded the “son of Saddam,” and then follows that by saying he also has a mother, whose spirit tempered his dad’s confrontational approach. He also says, surprisingly, he is less conservative than his father now is.

He says we have to “address the problem as it exists,” rather than taking an idealized approach.
