Chicago's mayoral race is headed to a runoff election on April 4th between Paul Vallas and Toni Preckwinkle, after none of the nine candidates won an outright majority in the first round of voting. Incumbent Mayor Lori Lightfoot, the city's first Black woman and first openly gay person to serve in the position, failed to get enough votes to move on. The runoff election will be a choice between Vallas' law-and-order platform and Preckwinkle's progressive agenda, and will decide the direction of the city for the next four years.
