As the Chicago election results continue to come in, it's not clear who among the over 170 City Council candidates would win, thanks to tight margins.
Tuesday's election promised significant change for Chicago's City Council, and not just because 16 members who were around four years ago resigned over the last year or opted to not run again.

Lee was appointed in 2022 after Ald. Patrick Daley Thompson, nephew of former Mayor Richard M. Daley, was convicted on tax crimes and had to resign.
, Raul Reyes, trailed Jeylu Gutierrez, a candidate backed by U.S. Rep. Jesus "Chuy" Garcia, an unsuccessful candidate for mayor Tuesday.There are more than 500 uncounted mail-in ballots in that ward, which includes parts of the Gage Park and Brighton Park neighborhoods. In the 1st Ward, incumbent Ald. Daniel La Spata was the top vote-getter among a field of four in a hard-fought race for an area that includes Wicker Park and Logan Square, but it wasn't immediately clear whether he'd have enough votes to avoid a runoff.With 96% of precincts reporting, La Spata had roughly 49% of the vote, followed by Sam Royko, son of late newspaper columnist Mike Royko, with about 24%.
