Ten major candidates have already launched campaigns to deny Mayor Lori Lightfoot a second term, while Ald. Tom Tunney drops out and former Gov. Pat Quinn teases an announcement.
However, former Gov. Pat Quinn told WTTW News Friday that he is still weighing a run for mayor and planned to make an announcement on Tuesday.
However, Quinn said U.S. Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García’s entrance into the race would not sway his decision, even though he and García had been friends for decades.Race for Chicago Mayor: Who’s In and Who’s Out for 2023 ElectionThe fruits of that labor will pay off starting at 9 a.m. Nov. 21, when candidates will line up in the Pedway outside the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners office with a minimum of 12,500 signatures from registered voters in Chicago.
Everyone in line when those doors finally open will be entered into a lottery to get the first slot on the ballot, which could give them an advantage in what promises to be a very crowded race. Early voting could start on Jan. 30, assuming that all of the petition challenges have been resolved and the ballot is final.
