Cook County Judge invalidated Mayor Brandon Johnson's "Bring Chicago Home" referendum.

Cook County Judge Kathleen Burke invalidated Mayor Brandon Johnson's "Bring Chicago Home" referendum on March 19 ballot, which aimed to address homelessness through a property tax hike on higher-priced sales. The judge's ruling provides a significant setback to Johnson and his progressive backers, but they have vowed to continue their campaign and encourage voters to vote yes, hoping that a successful appeal would mean those ballots would be counted.
