    TGIF, Illinois. We’re getting into that below-freezing-for-days-at-a-time stretch, so stay positive.

    You couldn’t get any more Chicago than a snowy night on a Thursday in the Plumbers Union Local 130 Hall, where hundreds gathered for corned beef and beer and elbow-rubbing with politicos, power brokers and plumbers wearing sport coats too tight to button.

    And there’s more: Last night’s event took place after a knock-down, drag-out political debate that saw Mayor Lori Lightfoot and challengers Jesus “Chuy” Garcia and Paul Vallas take off the gloves. Yeah, this was a Chicago kind of day.

    The blood sport of Chicago politics: After taking blows from challengers wanting her job, Lightfoot joined the parade of bagpipers at the union hall in the West Loop. The annual Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner raises funds for Chicago’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade, which the union sponsors. Garcia, who took his own hits during the debate, showed up to mingle with the beer-drinkers, too.

    The Plumbers Union hasn’t endorsed in the mayor’s race — yet. The plumbers were early backers of Lightfoot in 2019, and she’s hoping to win their support again. Garcia wouldn’t say no to an endorsement either.

    Also spotted: State Senate President Don Harmon, state Sen. Cristina Castro, state Reps. Marcus Evans and Marty Moylan, Chicago City Council members Michelle Harris, Jim Gardiner and Felix Cardona Jr., Cook County Commissioner Bridget Gainer, MWRD’s Mariyana Spyropoulos, Kimberly Neely Du Buclet and Patricia Theresa Flynn, Cook County Circuit Court Judge Tom Sianis, Kane County Democratic Chair Mark Guethle, DuPage County Democratic Chair Ken Mejia-Beal and Village of Carol Stream Trustee Rick Gieser, who’s running for mayor. Also getting his first taste of Plumbers Union’s Irish hospitality was Mike Ollen, the campaign manager for Gov. JB Pritzker.

    ON THE TRAIL: Ten candidates are on the ballot to fill the 48th Ward Chicago City Council seat that’s been held for more than a decade by retiring Ald. Harry Osterman — and his legendary mom before that.

    The race has turned into something of an exercise in democracy for the North Side ward that’s already engaged in local politics. A recent standing-room-only community forum saw more than 500 participants. And last night’s forum saw about 300 people in-person, a representative with the organizing Association of Sheridan Condominium Owners estimated, plus more than 140 on the livestream.

    “People care about our community. We show up,” candidate Andre Peloquin, a real estate broker, told Olivia.

    There’s no clear frontrunner in the race, though Osterman and former Ald. Mary Ann Smith have endorsed Joe Dunne, a real estate developer involved in affordable housing. Dunne has also led in fundraising, followed by Nick Ward, a former restaurant worker involved in progressive groups; Peloquin; and Larry Svabek, a political science lecturer at University of Chicago.

    “Harry’s done a good job representing the various communities in the ward,” Dunne said of the current alderman. “His endorsement is validating.”

    Two major issues: Public safety — a common theme across municipal races this year — and development.

    “We’re basically living on top of each other, literally,” said Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth, a small business owner running to be the first queer woman of color elected to the seat. “We all have to work together. That’s the spirit of the ward.”

    In interviews, some candidates expressed concern about the extent to which the ward would stay affordable and nurture its characteristic small businesses.

    “It’s honestly shocking how many buildings are vacant right now,” said Andy Peters, a cafe owner running for the seat.

    Candidates mostly sidestep criticizing Osterman, who has a strong reputation for constituent services. Still, the candidates say it’s time for change.

    “We really have a transforming city,” said Assistant Illinois Attorney General Isaac Freilich-Jones, who’s also in the race. “So, I don’t think we can rely on doing everything we did before to navigate those changes.”

    Brian Haag, Roxanne Volkmann and Nassir Faulkner are also on the ballot.

    — INVESTIGATION: The Illinois museum built on Native American burial grounds: “Federal records show the Illinois State Museum has reported that it holds the remains of at least 7,000 Native Americans.

    RNC vote today: Illinois members of the Republican National Committee — Don Tracy, Richard Porter and Demetra DeMonte are expected to endorse incumbent Ronna McDaniel as the group’s next chair. Also in the running is Harmeet Dhillon. If you haven’t been following, here’s some background about the behind-the-scenes drama to elect a new leader. It’s become a battle of wills between former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as to who wins.

    — Bipartisan docu-drama: Congressmen Darin LaHood (R-IL-16) and Mike Quigley (D-IL-05), both members of the House Intelligence Committee, are exploring legislation to implement stronger enforcement for mishandling of classified documents. Currently, criminal penalties for mishandling classified documents must meet a high standard for prosecution. LaHood and Quigley plan to introduce civil penalties for violations that do not meet that high criminal standard.

    — Meet the aggies: The House Agriculture Committee will be well-represented by Illinois members of Congress. With some 75 percent of land in Illinois devoted to agriculture, it’s no wonder. Along with Republican Congresswoman Mary Miller (IL-15), Democrats named to the committee are newly elected Jonathan Jackson (IL-01), Nikki Budzinski (IL-13) and Eric Sorensen (IL-17).
