Rahm Emanuel’s Wife, An election official says Rahm Emanuel’s wife won’t have to testify at a hearing over challenges to the former White House chief of staff’s Chicago residency.

Chicago Board of Election Commissioners hearing officer Joseph Morris said Monday there’s no information Amy Rule can provide that those trying to prevent Emanuel from running for mayor of Chicago can’t get from Emanuel himself.

Emanuel is set to testify at the Tuesday hearing.. The key question is whether Emanuel is ineligible to run for mayor to replace the retiring Richard Daley because he moved from Chicago to Washington for the chief of staff job.

Emanuel says he didn’t forfeit his Chicago residency any more than someone taking a temporary post with the state or federal government or to serve in the Peace Corps.
