From the Gery Chico for Chicago Mayor campaign…
(CHICAGO) Campaigning today at Manny’s Deli on the near Southside, Gery Chico received the support of two former Chicago Bears, one of whom played a key role on the 1985 Super Bowl Championship team.
Steve McMichael and Bruce Herron- part of the Bears’ legendary defense for several years- both said they believe Gery Chico is the most qualified, honest candidate to lead Chicago in a new direction.
“If Gery Chico was an ’85 Bear, I would have wanted him by my side blitzing because he is one tough guy,” said Steve “Mongo” McMichael. “Just look at what he did for education in the 90s! He’d make a great mayor.”
“Gery Chico is an honest man and that is exactly the kind of person we need as our next mayor,” Bruce Herron said.
McMichael and Herron also supported Chico’s vision to bring the Super Bowl to Chicago in 2015.
“It can be done and it would be a great thing for the city and provide a much-needed economic boost,” McMichael said. “Gery will be a mayor who thinks big and achieves big things.”
Chico welcomed the support from the same Bears players he admired as a young man.
“I remember watching these guys dominate opposing quarterbacks, so it’s a great feeling to know that they have my back,” Gery Chico said.
Other former Bears players supporting Chico are Dan Hampton, a member of the Super Bowl championship team, and Jim Osborne, who retired in 1984.
