Mayor Lori Lightfoot will have the chance to appoint a fourth member to the Chicago City Council next month, as 12th Ward Ald. George Cardenas announced he is stepping down as alderman effective Nov. 30.
Cardenas is slated to take a seat on the Cook County Board of Review, a property tax appeals body, following next Tuesday’s elections. He is unopposed. Whoever Lightfoot picks to succeed him will have an incumbency advantage heading into municipal elections in 2023Which aldermen are not running for reelection next yearCardenas has represented the ward — which includes McKinley Park, Brighton Park and part of Little Village — since 2003, and has been a reliable mayoral ally through the Richard M.
Despite such praise, Lightfoot and Cardenas occasionally butted heads over politics and policy. Earlier this year, when Ald. Anthony Beale unsuccessfully pushed to repeal the city’s 6mph speed camera fines, Lightfoot texted Cardenas telling him, “Do not vote for this Beale nonsense.” The mayor responded that she would work with him but criticized the speed camera threshold repeal as blowing a hole in the budget and harming public safety.
In response, Cardenas said, “You have the toughest job and I’m not a crybaby. Staff should be able to handle these things. I never had to bother any Mayor especially when we are strong Allies. Anyway I agree separate conversation.”
