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 advance to a runoff election after each garnered more votes than the incumbent. Lightfoot, who frequently touts 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.
