Lori Lightfoot wins race for Chicago Mayor replacing Rahm Emanuel
#Chicago became the largest American city ever to elect a black woman as its mayor as voters on Tuesday chose #LoriLightfoot, a former prosecutor, to replace #RahmEmanuel. When she takes office in May, Ms. Lightfoot also will be the city’s first openly gay mayor.
Ms. Lightfoot, who has never held elective office, easily won the race, The #AP reported, beating out a better-known, longtime politician and turning her outsider status into an asset in a city with a history of corruption and insider dealings. Ms. Lightfoot, 56, beat Toni Preckwinkle, a former alderman who is president of the Cook County Board and who had long been viewed as a highly formidable candidate for mayor.
For Chicago, Ms. Lightfoot’s win signaled a notable shift in the mood of voters and a rejection of an entrenched political culture that has more often rewarded insiders and dismissed unknowns.
