The runoff, to be held on April 4, will determine if Chicago takes a more progressive stance on matters under Johnson or follows a more centrist, conservative agenda under Vallas for the next four years.The two runoff candidates sit on opposite ends of the two biggest topics in the mayoral race: crime and education.
