She started by showing up at Chicago City Council meetings and publicly challenging Mayor Brandon Johnson over spending, the migrant crisis, and the direction of the city.
Now Danielle “Danni C” Carter-Walters isn’t content with criticizing City Hall from the outside.
She wants to run it.
Danni C returns to The David Seaton Show, this time as a candidate for Mayor of Chicago. Currently positioned as an underdog in the race, she joins David for a candid conversation about why she believes Chicago needs new leadership—and why voters should take her campaign seriously.
What would a Danni C administration actually look like? How would she address crime, taxes, Chicago’s finances, education and the relationship between City Hall and its residents? And can a political outsider turn frustration with the establishment into enough votes to pull off one of the biggest surprises of the 2027 election?
This isn’t a campaign commercial.
It’s an interview.
Watch the full conversation and decide for yourself whether Danni C is simply a long-shot candidate—or Chicago’s potential political dark horse.
