For progressives to truly become a dominant force on the city and state level, they will have to learn how to consistently expand their reach and electability in precincts and neighborhoods beyond those that they are already winning.
Whether this will be enough to propel Johnson to the mayoralty remains to be seen. Vallas finished well ahead of Johnson in the multicandidate race, with a 13-point lead, though progressives point out that many voters who initially chose Garcia may now move toward Johnson. Progressives have also struggled to win elections where crime rates have dominated the discourse; indeed, Vallas has leaned hard onthroughout the race.
In recent national elections, progressives have sometimes struggled to make inroads beyond districts where their constituents are most numerous. In wards held by socialist candidates like Rodriguez-Sanchez and Ramirez-Rosa, for example, Bernie Sandersby a nearly 2 to 1 ratio in most precincts in the 2020 Illinois Democratic Primary. In Ward 48, meanwhile, where a DSA-backed candidate failed to crack the top two, Biden and Sanders had a nearly identical vote split in 2020.
Having witnessed the sluggish start for progressive insurgents in Chicago, activists in Denver will try to turn that trend around early next month. There, a slate of six candidates aims to seize a significant chunk of the city council seats, radically shifting the power center to the left in the U.S.’s 19th largest city.
