The 2023 Chicago mayoral election was held on February 28, 2023, to elect the mayor of Chicago, Illinois. With no candidate receiving a majority of votes, a runoff election will be held on April 4, 2023. This two-round election takes place alongside other 2023 Chicago elections, including races for City Council, city clerk, city treasurer, and police district councils. The election is officially nonpartisan, with its winner being elected to a four-year term.
Incumbent Lori Lightfoot ran for a second term in office, but conceded after ongoing vote counts showed she would likely finish in third place.[1] The runoff will be between Paul Vallas (the former CEO of Chicago Public Schools) and Brandon Johnson (an incumbent member of the Cook County Board of Commissioners).[2][3][4]
Contents
Campaign
Lightfoot's administration has faced criticism due to rising crime rates in Chicago and accusations of covering up police misconduct. During her first term, she has clashed with members of the Chicago City Council, the Chicago Teachers Union, and Illinois governor J. B. Pritzker's administration. The New York Times remarked that she has an "uncanny ability to make political enemies." However, Lightfoot has received praise for her efforts to build affordable housing, repair dilapidated areas of the city, and raise the minimum wage.[5]
A wide field of nine challengers qualified for the ballot.[6] Polling of the race has been largely inconsistent but has indicated that Lightfoot is in danger of losing re-election and that the candidates with the best chance of making a runoff are Lightfoot, U.S. representative Chuy García, Cook County commissioner Brandon Johnson, former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas, and businessman Willie Wilson. Polling has also shown that Garcia enjoys heavy support from Latino voters, while a plurality of white voters back Vallas and a plurality of black voters back Lightfoot. Vallas and Wilson are considered more moderate than Lightfoot, with García and Johnson being more progressive.[7] However, many organizations in the coalition of labor unions and progressive groups that supported García in his 2015 campaign are instead backing Johnson in 2023.[8]
Lightfoot faced controversy when she emailed public school teachers offering school credit for students who interned on her campaign.[9] She was also criticized for telling South Side residents to either vote for her or not vote at all.[10] Vallas faced accusations that he lived outside the city.[11] Lightfoot has run ads tying García to Sam Bankman-Fried and Michael Madigan and criticizing Johnson's support for reducing police budgets.[12][13] She and García have also run ads accusing Vallas of being an anti-abortion Democrat in name only.[14] García also questioned whether Johnson could be objective as mayor given his close relationship with the Chicago Teachers Union, while Johnson in turn accused García of "abandoning the progressive movement" by adopting a more moderate policy platform in his 2023 campaign.[8][15]
Several days before the election, Fran Spielman of the Chicago Sun-Times opined that polls demonstrated Paul Vallas to be the top front-runner, being likely to place either first or second in the initial round of voting and advance to a runoff. She opined that polling showed there to be three remaining front-runners, one of whom would likely face Valls, with these three being Garcia, Johnson, and Lightfoot.[16]
