• Board Says Emanuel Can Run for Mayor

CHICAGO - Rahm Emanuel forged ahead with his campaign for Chicago mayor Thursday after an elections panel ruled his name can appear on the Feb. 22 ballot, rejecting arguments the former White House chief of staff forfeited his city residency when he went to work for President Barack Obama in Washington. The decision of the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners removed a major obstacle to Emanuel's ambitions to replace retiring Mayor Richard M. Daley, and Emanuel said it allowed him to "turn the page" and focus on issues more important to voters.

• Chicago Mayoral Candidate Rahm Emanuel Tossed Off Ballot

CHICAGO -- Rahm Emanuel's Chicago mayoral campaign hit a major hurdle yesterday with a 2-to-1 ruling by an Illinois appeals court that his name cannot appear on the ballot for the Feb. 22 election because he does not meet the office's residency standard. The ruling reverses the unanimous decision of the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners that Emanuel meets the residency requirements. Emanuel will appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court and ask for an injunction to keep his name on the ballot.

• Rahm Emanuel Testifies On Chicago Residency

CHICAGO - Rahm Emanuel told elections officials on Tuesday that when he went to work as the White House chief of staff almost two years ago, he left behind his family's "most valuable possessions" at his Chicago home, showing he always intended to move back. Emanuel was testifying at a Chicago Board of Election Commissioners hearing called after his residency was challenged to keep him off February's mayoral ballot. He said he left behind baby clothes, his wife's wedding dress, photo albums and family china. His supporters have long said these are not the kind of things anyone would simply abandon.
