Lightfoot, the first Black woman and first openly gay person to lead the city, won her first term in 2019
CHICAGO — , issuing a rebuke to a leader who made history as head of the nation’s third-largest city.
Speaking to supporters Tuesday night, Lightfoot called being Chicago's mayor “the honor of a lifetime.” Vallas' opponents have criticized him as too conservative to lead the Democratic stronghold. Lightfoot blasted him for welcoming support from the police union’s controversial leader, who defended the Jan. 6 insurrectionists at the Capitol and equated Lightfoot’s vaccine mandate for city workers to the Holocaust.
Lindsey Hegarty, a 30-year-old paralegal who lives on Chicago’s North Side, said she backed Johnson because “he seemed like the most progressive candidate on issues like policing, mental health” and public transit.
