Community activist Ja’Mal Green will occupy the top spot on the Feb. 28 mayoral ballot — assuming he can survive a petition challenge.
Board of Elections spokesman Max Bever conducted the lottery in public view, spinning the red container of numbered balls and drawing the winners, a process familiar to any bingo player.
“First spot on the ballot doesn’t mean that you win. But it’s a momentum boost for folks all across the city who have really been discouraged since Harold Washington died. The young people who don’t vote because they’ve been disengaged. They don’t feel there’s a candidate for them,” Green said. Veteran political strategist Victor Reyes is a former Garcia rival who now supports the congressman. He argued ballot position is unlikely to make any difference in the mayoral race he called the Super Bowl of Chicago politics.
