(s)Elections See other (s)Elections Articles Title: Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Loses Re-Election, Comes In Third-Place Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot who claimed last year to have the biggest dick in the city, lost her bid for re-election Tuesday after failing to advance to a runoff in the Chicago mayoral race, according to AP. The loss makes her the first Chicago mayor to lose re-election since 1983. Lightfoot finished third with 16.4% of the vote, while former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas finished at 35.02%, and Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson at 20.25%. The two will now advance to the April 4 runoff as the two candidates who got the most votes. Obviously, we didnt win the election. But, I stand here with my head held high and my heart full of thanks, Lightfoot told supporters right before 9 p.m., the Chicago Sun Times reports. You will not be defined by how you fall.

We will make Chicago the safest city in America. Johnson, meanwhile, appears to have claimed a large share of undecided African-American voters who were searching for an alternative to Lightfoot, according to the Sun Times.
