From the Editorial Board: While we congratulate Brandon Johnson and Paul Vallas on making it to the runoff, we do remind them of the long history of fealty to sponsoring organizations, leading to corruption and moral compromise.
Teacher Nina Hike raises her fist in support of Brandon Johnson for Chicago mayor on the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Day at Chicago Teachers Union offices on Jan. 16, 2023, in Chicago.
The operation was hierarchical — “as rigidly hierarchical as the Catholic Church,” Adam Cohen and Elizabeth Taylor write in their definitive Daley biography “American Pharaoh” — and membership came with a moral code involving utter fealty to those above you in the hierarchy, a willingness to reward or repay those faithful to you, an obligation never to question or undermine the party as a whole and to keep your nose out of intermural fights that were not your business.
Ald. Brian Hopkins, 2nd, marveled at Johnson’s ground support on polling day, saying there had been at least three CTU members or staffers in precincts he had visited Tuesday in neighborhoods such as Old Town, Streeterville, Lincoln Park, Wicker Park and the Gold Coast, Fran Spielmanin the Sun-Times. Voters in those areas abandoned Lightfoot, who had warred with the CTU, in large numbers and chose the more progressive Johnson instead.
