CHICAGO (AP) — Teachers union president Karen Lewis wants her privacy respected as she battles an illness that prompted her to take leave from her union duties and decide against a Chicago mayoral run.
Lewis hasn’t revealed the nature of her illness. However, in a statement released Wednesday by the teachers union, Lewis thanked the public for an outpouring of support and well wishes. She says the expressions have given her “a sense of renewed energy” as she shifts her focus to restoring her health.
