Some white voters who supported Lightfoot when she was a political newcomer before might be less inclined to back her this time.
of social worker Anjanette Young “didn’t look mayoral, looked out of control.”
Although crime remains higher than it was when Lightfoot first took office, Martin noted shootings and homicides are down year over year, an argument her team hopes will resonate.“We’re happy to run on her accomplishments and put her record up against everyone else’s in the race,” Martin said.Voter turnout could also be a factor. “White economic elites” in the West Loop, Gold Coast and Lincoln Park have consistently high turnout, Vargas noted.
After Hopkins introduced Vallas, saying he’s “giving him an A+,” Vallas smiled and thanked the downtown alderman for not running for mayor himself. “A lot of lakefront voters may be reluctant to vote for a white male against a Black female incumbent mayor,” Moore said.Aside from Vallas and Wilson, Lightfoot has six other major challengers. Ald. Sophia King, 4th, is the only other woman in the race, and she already represents more of the lakefront than any other alderman. King, who’s also chair of the City Council progressive caucus, helped push through the $15 minimum wage increase in 2019 under Lightfoot.
Mayoral candidate and state Rep. Kam Buckner discuses his campaign strategy with residents on Dec. 8. “When you have people that are experiencing criminal activity that they did not experience before in their respective neighborhoods, you have to acknowledge that,” Sawyer told the Tribune. “If you don’t feel safe, we have to make you feel safe.”Since losing the 2015 mayoral race to Rahm Emanuel, U.S. Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García has built a reputation as one of the city’s top power brokers and has been a frequently sought-after endorser for candidates.
“What she said to me was: ‘I don’t know what it’s like to live with the experiences that you talk about … I can relate to being in a constant state of worry about my children,’” Johnson told the Tribune. “I think it may surprise people how connected we really are.”Chicago mayoral candidate Brandon Johnson greets members of SEIU Local 73 as they announce their endorsement of him on Nov. 9.
“It’s been the case Chicago doesn’t really care about the skin color,” Green said. “It’s more about who has the ability to make me feel safe, to make sure that there’s opportunity for my children.”After losing the 2019 election, Wilson broke with Lightfoot and pursued a series of measures aimed at the city’s Black community. Most notably, Wilson pushed legislation offering reparations to Black residents.
