How many people are running for mayor of Chicago right now?

14.

That seems like a lot.

It is a lot.

Jamie Calvin is a journalist in Chicago.

This election is tomorrow.

You know, there's a first tier of maybe five or six who are viable candidates.

It's been a mayoral election unlike any other.

As a huge field of candidates competes to replace outgoing Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel.

Actually, there are so many people on the ballot that they don't only get to speak face-to-face at televised debates.

Some candidates get invited to a main event, and others are forced to speak from what's known as the kitty table.

And to note, before we begin, this isn't a traditional debate.

There will be no opening or closing remarks.

Each candidate...

Well, we basically don't have a Republican Party in Chicago, you know, de facto.

So really, the Democratic primary is the race.

And then everyone sort of accepts that there's going to be this runoff in a couple of months.

Right.

It all looks pretty chaotic from the outside.

But Jamie says, when you look a little closer, this story is simple.

The race is about who gets justice in this city and the long history of police brutality and corruption here.

Many of the candidates wouldn't be in this contest in the first place
