Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot lost her re-election campaign, rendering her the first chief executive of the Windy City in four decades to lose re-election.
Former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas and Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson will <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chicago-democrat-mayor-lori-lightfoot-loses-re-election-race-as-crime-soars" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advance</a> to a runoff election after each garnered more votes than the incumbent. Lightfoot, who frequently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lightfoot-out-as-mayor-says-she-was-treated-unfairly-as-a-black-woman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">touts</a> her race and her self-identification as a lesbian, justified her loss to a reporter by noting that she is a “black woman in America,” but residents have a multitude of valid reasons to dismiss Lightfoot.
