With final results by ward, Brandon Johnson @Brandon4Chicago defeated Paul Vallas by 26,448 votes & 4.3% in the Chicago mayor election. Johnson won every Black majority ward & he won northside liberal wards. Johnson won 6 Latino majority wards #chimayor23 #electiontwitter #twill

RT @FrankCalabrese: For the Chicago mayor runoff election, I believe, based on yet to be received mail ballots, Paul Vallas @PaulVallas would have to lead Brandon Johnson @Brandon4Chicago by at least 18,000 votes with nearly all precincts reporting to declare victory tonight. #chimayor23 #twill

Good map, and good map work.

Preliminary map of the #chimayor23 runoff. As always, Chicago city elections are highly racialized.

Brandon Johnson edged out Paul Vallas in a victory for Chicago progressives, drawing on black support citywide as well as progressive Northside/lakefront whites.

If I still lived in the city, I'd easily vote Brandon Johnson over Rahm Emanuel. But I'd vote Lightfoot ahead of Johnson, and Vallas ahead of most anybody. Except Harold probably.

Progressive policies matter a lot to me, but it's also about considering what works in different situations. Are they committed to do what they think is right, independent of interest groups or their own ambition? Can they handle the job? Do you trust them on issues that haven't come up before? #chimayor23

Want to follow the #CHImayor23 race but aren't that familiar with Chicago? I divided it up into 4 "political neighborhoods" based on how different parts of the city vote: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/chicago-politics-neighborhoods-election/

During Paul Vallas’s failed 2019 mayoral run, his budget plan included a property tax increase & cuts in services.

Vallas’s 2023 budget plan? Just a few sentences. #BrandonIsBetter b/c he's the only candidate with a budget plan that doesn't raise property taxes. #chimayor23

RT @CDRosa
.@MaryAnnAhernNBC at #chimayor23 debate: "Mr. Vallas, you stopped CPS pension payments. Do you take responsibility?"

Paul Vallas: "No, I do not."

So much for Paul Vallas "taking accountability."

First, while this is about a state-level program, it's malpractice not to mention that #ChiMayor23 candidate Paul Vallas has long talked about a Chicago witness protection program, including in this recent Op-Ed in the very same #ChicagoTribune: https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/commentary/ct-opinion-chicago-witness-protection-safety-police-20220321-bzsokcoqazdrxdpcz4g5d5ebxm-story.html
