>> NEARLY 2 MONTHS AFTER TAKING OFFICE, BRANDON JOHNSON HAS A PUSH TO CHICAGO A MORE JUST AND VIBRANT CITY.

THE REPORT ENDORSES THE PROGRESSIVE AGENDA LAID OUT BY JOHNSON DURING THE CAMPAIGN .

>> WE KNOW CHICAGO HAS PROBLEMS AND WE LIVE IN TROUBLED TIMES IN A DIVIDED NATION.

HOPE IS THERE .

WE COMMIT OURSELVES TO WORKING WITH MAJOR JOHNSON IN BUILDING BRIDGES REQUIRED TO REALIZE A MORE JUST AND INCLUSIVE CHICAGO.

>> HEATHER SHARON JOINS US WITH MORE.

THIS REPORT IS 133 PAGES LONG COMPRISED BY 400 PEOPLE.

GIVE US THE HIGHLIGHTS.

>> IT DOES GO THROUGH MUCH OF THE CAMPAIGN THAT BRANDON JOHNSON WAGED THIS SPRING , ENDORSING HIS CALL TO REOPEN A MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC.

IT ADDRESSES A PLAN TO TAKE A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO PUBLIC SAFETY CENTERED AROUND SYSTEMS AS OPPOSED TO THE POLICE .

IT ENDORSES HIS CALL TO HIRE 200 MORE DETECTIVES .

THAT DOES NOT EMPHASIZE NEARLY 1000 VACANCIES IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT , EMBLEMATIC OF THE NEW APPROACH JOHNSON IS TAKING .

>> HE ADDRESSED CRITICISM THAT THE REPORT IS OVERDUE, TWO MONTHS AFTER HE TOOK OFFICE.

>> FOR THOSE WHO ARE ASKING WHY IT TOOK SO LONG, I DON'T THINK IT NEEDS AN EXPLANATION.

[ LAUGHTER ] IT IS BECAUSE PEOPLE OF CHICAGO ARE WORTH THE TIME, THE EFFORT, AND TO FINALLY GET IT RIGHT.

WE HAVE TO GET IT RIGHT FOR NO ONE ELSE BUT YOUNG PEOPLE .

>> FORMER MAYORS RELEASED THE REPORTS BEFORE THEY TOOK OFFICE .

>> JOHNSON TOOK OFFICE AFTER THE SHORTEST MAYORAL TRANSITION IN HISTORY , JUST 41 DAYS.

THE RUNOFF THAT HE WON WAS MORE CONTESTED THAN LORI LIGHTFOOT'S ELECTION.

AS YOU HEARD HIM SAY, THIS WAS A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS THAT BROUGHT IN AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE AND THAT GIVES US A GLIMPSE INTO HOW HE INTENDS TO GOVERN.

>> JOHNSON DESCRIBED THIS AS A CULMINATION OF A DECADE-LONG EFFORT TO MAKE CHICAGO A MORE EQUITABLE PLACE TO LIVE.

WHAT ABOUT HOW HE PLANS TO GOVERN ?

>> HE SAID SEVERAL TIMES THAT HE IS NOT A DICTATOR.

HE IS SAYING HIS ROLE IS ORGANIZER IN CHIEF, BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER AND IMPLEMENTING THE BEST PLANS.

THIS TRANSITION REPORT IS A BLUEPRINT TO DO THAT.

HE MADE A POINT OF ACKNOWLEDGING MANY PEOPLE WHO WERE ON STAGE BEHIND HIM HELPED CREATE THE REPORT ARE PEOPLE WHO PROTESTED WILL RELY FOOT AND RAHM EMANUEL .

>> THANK YOU.
