Lightfoot splashes into crowded Chicago mayoral field with reelection launch
Lightfoot's biggest recent victory is one that eluded her predecessors: a deal to build a casino in Chicago, where a portion of the revenues will go toward paying off police and fire-fighter employee pensions that have vexed previous executives. It's a move that will cut the chances of her needing to enact deeply unpopular property tax hikes ahead of the 2023 municipal elections.
But after winning a runoff election in 2019 where she swept all 50 of Chicago's wards as a political outsider and reform candidate, Lightfoot has a real fight on her hands. A city once ruled for decades by Mayor Richard M. Daley is feeling out mayoral turnover.
And despite her achievements and aggressive fundraising operation, Lightfoot has many critics across the political spectrum attracting at least six challengers focused on crime."So many residents throughout the city are concerned about safety.
