Here's my take on #ChicagoMayoralElection and what Johnson's win means for the Black establishment who backed Vallas. https://chicago.suntimes.com/elections/2023/4/4/23670457/mayoral-race-brandon-johnson-black-political-leaders-city-council-politics-natalie-moore-column

In the final stretch of Chicago’s closely watched mayoral race, candidate Paul Vallas is attacking his progressive opponent’s plan to fund public schools and infrastructure by taxing the wealthy — including a tax on financial trading that would hit some of Vallas’ top campaign donors. https://www.levernews.com/in-chicago-mayoral-race-plutocrats-spend-big-against-new-taxes/ #nomoa #ChicagoMayoralElection #ChicagoElection

#BrandonJohnson projected to win #ChicagoMayoralElection

Brandon Johnson, a county commissioner & fmr public school teacher, projected to win #Chicago mayoral runoff w/a message to increase investment in #SocialPrograms to address #PublicSafety fears….

W/>90% of the vote counted, Johnson, 47, was leading Paul Vallas, 69, a fmr Chicago schools exec who ran on a tough-on-crime msg, 51.4% to 48.6%

In the #ChicagoMayoralElection Runoff:

@PaulVallas is *basically* a Republican.

@Brandon4Chicago is a leader with support from progressive grassroots organizations, labor unions & #Chicago leaders like @DeliaRamirezIL!

So Chicago voters, who thankfully got rid of LORI LIGHTFOOT, choose between BRANDON JOHNSON, fake progressive identitarian who loves Elizabeth Warren and corporate ESG, or PAUL VALLAS, anti-abortion pro-cop stop-n-frisk advocating 'Eric Adams' for Chicago

In other news, Lori Lightfoot is out as Mayor of Chicago.

What’s not news is that no one will miss her.

Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson will meet in a runoff to be the next mayor of Chicago after voters on Tuesday denied incumbent democrat Lori Lightfoot a second term #ChicagoMayoralElection

I have a set of not particularly well-formed thoughts about the revelation that #GusVallas, son of #ChicagoMayoralElection candidate #PaulVallas, was one of three officers who shot #KevinJohnson, a Black man, in the back in 2022, but it feels wrong to stay entirely silent. Here are my thoughts so far.

I've already mailed my ballot and am only just now getting a bunch of flyers in the mail that promote different mayoral candidates.

considering a compromise with myself wherein I vote for #KamBuckner but continue to bring up his DUIs every chance I get.
