The García endorsement could mean a boost from García's supporters and the Latinx community.
"This endorsement indicates that he has faith, or at least more faith, in Brandon Johnson than Paul Vallas to represent that community well," said North Central College professor Stephen Caliendo."So that could be a really, really big help for Brandon Johnson."
Vallas on Friday saw a key endorsement with Chicago Laborers District Council - representing construction and industrial workers. Sophia King has not endorsed either candidate, and didn't respond to our questions about an endorsement Friday."The elephant in the room is Lori Lightfoot, of course," Caliendo said."I wouldn't be totally surprised if she stayed silent the next couple of weeks," Caliendo said.As for how much these endorsements really matter and the weight they carry, both experts tell us they're meaningful.
"Endorsements are about helping people who aren't paying close attention to the race have a signal about who would be the best person to support if they were paying close attention," added Caliendo.
