Welcome to the August 2025 edition of the Chicago Power Poll podcast with Thom Serafin. Our power pollers have levied their thoughts on five new issues. Joining Thom, once again, is veteran Chicago political journalist Mike Flannery This month's special guest is Ray Long, veteran statehouse reporter, Chicago Tribune alum, and author of the book The House That Madigan Built — Ray is also a two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist.
This month, we asked our Power Pollers to answer these questions:
Governor Pritzker has supported Texas Democrats fleeing Texas redistricting battles. What’s your take on the Governor’s actions?
What do you think is the biggest reason people are moving out of Illinois?
Should the Illinois legislature pass the 'Mega Projects' property tax-break bill for the Bears?
President Trump has deployed the National Guard to Washington D.C. and placed the D.C. police under his control. What do you think of this decision by the President?
Illinois and California Democrats, have announced they will gerrymander their congressional maps in response to Texas Republican plans to get rid of five Democrat-held seats. What do you think of this response?
Thom, Mike, and Ray will share our Power Poll results and get into their analysis of the answers here on this month's episode.
