Lori Lightfoot, the first Black woman and the first openly-gay person ever to serve as mayor of Chicago, on Tuesday became a one-term mayor.
With 88.8 % of precincts reporting, the mayor who guided Chicago through the pandemic was headed toward a third-place finish in Tuesday’s election with 16.4% of the vote behind former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas at 35.02% and Cook County Commissioner and Chicago Teachers Union organizer Brandon Johnson with 20.25%.
Vallas, 69, and Johnson, 46, will likely face off in the April 4 runoff to decide who will become the 57th mayor of Chicago.
