My name is Lisa Nee and I’m running for Mayor of Chicago
I am running because I believe we deserve a city where public service actually serves the public—where affordability isn't a talking point but a reality, where you don't need connections to get basic things done, and where honesty isn't treated like a liability.
As a cardiologist, I've watched families struggle to afford the care that keeps them alive. As a mother, I think about the kind of city our kids are inheriting—and whether we're being honest about it. As an executive, I've seen how decisions get made behind closed doors, benefitting those already with power, not the greater good. And as a federal whistleblower, I've taken the risk of telling the truth when it wasn't convenient.
I'm not running because it's the next step in my career. I'm running because I've spent my life seeing what happens when systems fail people—and I'm done accepting it.
This is about dedication and love for the greatest citizens in the greatest city in the world.
Chicago, you deserve better. And I'm ready to take it on.
