CHICAGO, Nov. 20 (UPI) -- Former U.S. Sen. Carol Moseley Braun Saturday announced her candidacy for Chicago mayor, saying, "I just want to serve."
"Government is about the people's business, and my life's work has been dedicated to making government work for all of the people," Braun told a crowd of 200 supporters -- including U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., and state Sen. Martin Sandoval, D-Chicago -- gathered on the city's Northerly Island, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
