Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has an uphill battle to win reelection – facing eight challengers in next month’s election amid a crime problem that has rippled through the county’s third-most populous city.
From 2019, when Lightfoot took office, to the end of 2022, crime rose 33% overall. Specifically, murder rose 39%, theft increased 37% and motor vehicle theft rose 139%, Chicago Police Department data shows.
The election is Feb. 28, and a runoff will be held April 4 if no candidate receives a majority of votes.
Lightfoot, the first black woman and gay person to be elected Chicago mayor, finished fourth in the recently published Chicago Index poll, a collaboration between The Daily Line and Crain’s Chicago Business.
Finishing ahead of Lightfoot in the poll were Democrat Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia, who endorsed Lightfoot in 2019; Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson; and former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas. more
It will come down to who has the most truck loads of ballots.
Fourth, because there were only 3 candidates. Amiryte?
Dear Lord, please smite this evil bitch.
She represents Chicago voter well. Fucking idiots.
Chicago’s been corrupt since … well … since there’s been a Chicago.
The denizens of Chicago know all about the corruption, the decadence, the one-party rule, and the rest of the evil filth that accompanies that.
They are HOME.
Just as e-coli is at home in the bowels, the denizens of Chicago are at home in the cesspool of Chicago.
Whatever they “elect” won’t be much of an improvement.
mortem tyrannis
izlamo delenda est …
she’ll win because she was put in place to destroy.
Wait. What? Are you saying diversity, Affirmative Action, and Political Correctness didn’t work out?
So maybe, just maybe Mayor Gollum might lose her gig as Chicago’s Mayor. She’s the worst Mayor in the whole entire country.
Also, the first black and gay woman to be elected Chicago Mayor with male pattern baldness, as well.
