Hello, Wednesday! Guess what?

Hello Friends!  

I am good today.  I learned from Election Day, Chicago, IL, I enjoyed reading on the website of future Mayor, Rahm Emanuel.  I hope he will win tonight so I think he is a popular leader to People in Chicago.

Let me send some information to you all...




I learned about Rahm's Biography and his Leadership Experience
and Skills.  

Rahm Israel Emanuel (pronounced /ˈrɑːm/; born November 29, 1959) is an American politician who is currently Mayor-elect of Chicago. He was formerly White House Chief of Staff to President Barack Obama. He served as senior advisor to President Clinton at the White House from 1993 to 1998 and as a Democratic United States House of Representatives, representing Illinois's 5th congressional district, from 2003 until his resignation in 2009 to take up his position in the Obama Administration. member of the
Emanuel was chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee during the 2006 mid-term elections and remained a top strategist for House Democrats during the 2008 cycle. After Democrats regained control of the House in 2006, Emanuel was elected chairman of the Democratic Caucus. This made him the fourth-ranking House Democrat, behind Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Majority Whip Jim Clyburn.
Two days after Obama's election victory, he was announced as Barack Obama's designate for White House Chief of Staff. Emanuel resigned from the House on January 2, 2009 and began his duties as Chief of Staff on January 20, 2009, the day of Obama's inauguration.
Emanuel resigned as Chief of Staff effective October 1, 2010, in order to pursue a campaign to run for Mayor of Chicago following the retirement of Richard M. Daley. He was elected on February 22, 2011, with 55% of the vote. On January 27, 2011, the Illinois Supreme Court had reversed a lower court's ruling that had cast doubt on Emanuel's candidacy; the court unanimously held that Emanuel did not abandon his Chicago residency by serving in the White House, thus affirming his eligibility to run for mayor.
