Two months before the Democratic Convention, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson made an urgent plea to President Joe Biden for federal help to stop city gun violence. Oddly, the letter from Mayor Johnson to President Biden never mentions the Democratic Convention, but zeroes in on summertime holiday weekends, when shootings and murders typically spike. We need help, is the essence of the June 18th personal letter from the mayor to the president obtained by the I-Team through a public records request. It asked for specific federal assistance aimed at curbing gun violence to arrive before the expected July 4 weekend violence. With 109 shootings, including 19 people killed by gunfire, during the long Independence Day weekend, there was nothing to indicate that the mayor's letter to the president resulted in the arrival of any federal help.
