(CNN) - Former President Bill Clinton will campaign for Rahm Emanuel Tuesday at a rally in the Chicago Cultural Center, according to campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt.
Emanuel, who is running for mayor of Chicago, worked in the Clinton White House for five years before serving as an Illinois congressman and then President Obama's chief of staff, a post he left in the fall of last year to run for mayor.
Clinton's windy city appearance will be his first campaign stop since the November midterm elections.
(CNN) - At a press conference Tuesday, Chicago mayoral candidate Rahm Emanuel said his 2008 comment that politicians should "never let a good crisis go to waste" does not apply to the Arizona shootings.
"What I said was never let a good crisis go to waste when it's an opportunity to do things you had never considered or you didn't think were possible," Emanuel said. "That's not intended for this moment; it doesn't apply for this moment."

(CNN) - Democratic Rep. Danny Davis of Illinois ended his bid for Chicago mayor Friday night and, in a call for African-American accord, endorsed former Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun.
Davis, the second African-American candidate to recently drop out of the race, said his choice proves "unity is more than just a concept." With Davis out of the campaign, the electoral way is cleared for Braun to launch a campaign directly against Rahm Emanuel, who left his post as White House chief of staff earlier this year to run for mayor of the windy city.
