Former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas participates in a forum with other Chicago mayoral candidates hosted by the Chicago Women Take Action Alliance Jan. 14, 2023, at the Chicago Temple in Chicago. Vallas has run as the law-and-order candidate and promises to put hundreds more officers on the streets. CHICAGO — — Paul Vallas, the former schools CEO endorsed by the Chicago police union, advanced to a two-candidate runoff for Chicago mayor on Tuesday.
Lightfoot in 2019 became the mayor of the third-largest U.S. city, and is only the second woman to hold the office. But Lightfoot, a former prosecutor and head of a city police review board, now risks becoming Chicago's first one-term mayor in 40 years.during the COVID-19 pandemic and a leadership style they say is unnecessarily combative. Lightfoot has touted her record of investing in neighborhoods and supporting workers, such as by increasing the minimum wage to $15 an hour.
Lightfoot also is the first mayor of a major U.S. city to face reelection following the pandemic, the recession and the crime wave that's occurred in many places. Those factors weighed on some voters as they made their decisions. Race also is a factor as candidates court votes in the highly segregated city, which is closely divided in population among Black, Hispanic and white residents. Lightfoot, Johnson and five other candidates are Black, though Lightfoot — who is hoping strong support from Black voters will help propel her to victory — has argued that she is the only Black candidate who can win.
“No other mayor has been asked to change this city within four years,” said city Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin, who is Black, and noted that white mayors like Emanuel and Richard Daley served multiple terms. “When we get in the game, the rules change.”
