  1. The 2019 Chicago mayoral election was held on February 26, 2019, to determine the next #Mayor of the #CityOfChicago, #Illinois. Since no candidate received a majority of votes, a #runoffElection was held on April 2, 2019, between the two candidates with the most votes, #LoriLightfoot and #ToniPreckwinkle. Lightfoot defeated Preckwinkle in the runoff election to become mayor, and was sworn in as mayor on May 20, 2019. The election was officially #nonpartisan.

  6. Funnier than the fact that #LoriLightfoot once broke her own #Chicago #COVID19 quarantine rules to go to the hairdresser, is the fact that she went to the hairdresser

  11. From late November. Utter failure by #LoriLightfoot, and if she was elected to do one thing it was this. After all, her surprisingly strong post-Laquan task force report was a roadmap for the consent decree.

    Also, a question that should be asked of every #ChiMayor23 candidate: Have you read the consent decree?

    (How many journos have?)

  12. #LoriLightfoot's City Hall moves slowly, not just because she alienates so many potential partners and collaborators, but because she's a micromanager. Reporters, is it true she takes ordinances home to write herself? #Chicago #ChiMayor23

  13. Did #LoriLightfoot really do as great a job during COVID as the media narrative says? It's not something other #ChiMayor23 candidates are touching, but I recall that her supposed sternness became a meme independently of her administration, and that she broke city rules in getting her hair done privately, lamely stating she had to look good to rep the city, and that she battled JB Pritzker on many a COVID issue, looking incompetent in the process.

  15. The Atlantic makes it seem like #Chicago Mayor #LoriLightfoot isn't to blame for her problems, though they are almost all of her own making.

    An aldermanic ally who, like so many others, finally gave up on Lightfoot, said: “I have never met anybody who has managed to piss off every single person they come in contact with. Police, fire, teachers, aldermen, businesses, manufacturing."

    She's been a disaster. #ChiMayor23

  16. Such a typical story about this mayor, which is why it's so laughable that her re-election rhetoric includes the importance of working collaboratively and with transparency. The incompetence is stunning.

  22. @psztrnk As a #cyclist and #bicyclecommuter in #Chicago this article is painful to read. I’ve experienced my fair share of blocked lanes, and luckily this far I’ve yet to be injured. The city and #LoriLightfoot really need to get their act together and properly isolate cycle lanes from cars.
