Lightfoot Blasted After Asking CPS Teachers to Encourage Students to ‘Help Her Win' Election
Lightfoot’s campaign says that the email addresses of teachers are publicly-available, and denied any wrongdoing.
“As the race heats up, we’re looking to enrich our office through what we call our externship program,” the email read. “Lightfoot for Chicago is seeking resumes from any volunteer interested in campaign politics and eager to gain experience in the field.” The email sparked a tsunami of criticism from both Lightfoot’s political opponents and former officials, including former Inspector General Joe Ferguson.Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García also criticized the email as problematic.
Ald. Roderick Sawyer, who is also running for mayor, criticized the emails as “unethical” and a contradiction on Lightfoot’s part.
