Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has come under scrutiny for spending over $30,000 in campaign funds on personal grooming expenses, including hair and makeup, in one year. Financial disclosures reviewed by The National Desk revealed these expenditures. Johnson defended the expenses, stating that they were aimed at promoting small, black-owned businesses. However, controversy arose when a salon owner claimed he never provided services to Johnson or his campaign.
