The Chicago mayoral election results are in with Paul Vallas set to face Brandon Johnson in a runoff for mayor, with Lori Lightfoot conceding.
"Tonight is about building a Chicago that truly invests in our people," Johnson told supporters. "You know, the most radical thing we can do as a city is to love the people of Chicago."Vallas is the son of Greek immigrants, and said he comes from a family of teachers, police officers and firefighters. While his background and expertise is in education, he made his campaign about public safety and was endorsed by the Fraternal Order of Police.
In his speech, Johnson, who finished a distant second place, thanked the other candidates who didn't make the run-off and had these choice words for Vallas. Johnson experienced a surge in recent polls and finished second to qualify for the runoff. A former teacher, Chicago Teachers Union Organizer and current Cook County commissioner, he didn't have name recognition but he did have extensive connections.
