Lori Lightfoot made history as the first Black woman and first openly gay person to serve as Chicago mayor, sailing to victory four years ago as an outsider who vowed to rid City Hall of corruption and deliver a safer, more equitable city.

FIlE - Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot 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. Lightfoot made history four years ago as the first Black woman and first openly gay person to serve as Chicago mayor.

With nine candidates in the race, it is unlikely that anyone will exceed the 50% threshold needed to win the officially nonpartisan election outright. That means the winner is likely to be decided in an April 4 runoff between the top two vote-getters. She says her administration has made concrete progress on critical issues, from putting money into neighborhoods that have seen decades of disinvestment to taking illegal guns off the streets. But she notes that the last four years haven't been easy, with a global pandemic and protests over police violence that she said represented “some of the toughest times that we’ve ever faced" in Chicago.

Lightfoot’s most formidable opponent may be two-term U.S. Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia, a former member of the Chicago City Council, state Senate and county board who lost a runoff eight years ago against then-Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Lightfoot has also clashed with the Chicago police union, the Fraternal Order of Police. At a City Council meeting, Lightfoot was caught on a microphone referring to a union leader as “this FOP clown.”

She has such a skewed view of her accomplishments, I don't think any voter would choose her as the best candidate.

She failed dismally

Beetlejuice must go.

Beetlejuice must go.

And yet she has done ZERO

How miserably can you fail? She couldn’t of failed if she tried!

And don’t forget to mention how trash 🚮 she is at her job 👎🏾

and what a job she has done to the city. run it into the ground, destroyed any and all personal safety. So if being measured in failure is a thing. she is gold.

New4jax as liberal as CNN.

And turned out well! Democrat results for sure!

Have you seen the shithole that is Chicago? She turned that city into a third world country and you celebrate her?

And she has failed miserably!

Can't claim success, when the facts show failure. Follow the science. 😉

Baaahahahaha!!! This is her business class solution... Or she could you know enforce the law, but that's just too hard for her, isn't. Brilliant. Maybe bartenders should avoid coasters to prevent drunk driving too.

Those ignoramus's in Chicago will vote her back in because they love the chaos. 'Flay out mean' come on... Say it!!! BITCH! She’s toast the biggest failure that has ever held office.
