Lori Lightfoot makes history — becomes first LGBTQ black woman mayor of Chicago

On Tuesday, former Chicago Police Board president Lori Lightfoot was elected mayor of Chicago, who will become the first black woman and the first openly LGBTQ candidate to serve in that role.

No matter which way the election went, Chicago was set to become the largest American city ever to be run by a woman of color. Lightfoot’s opponent was Toni Preckwinkle, president of the Cook County Board.

Lightfoot will succeed President Barack Obama’s former chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, who served two terms as mayor of Chicago and declined to seek a third. Emanuel has suffered anemic approval ratings ever since the 2014 police shooting of Laquan McDonald, a black teenager. Although the police officer involved was ultimately convicted of second-degree murder, the city and the mayor were widely considered to have mishandled the case.

Lightfoot ran on a platform that included legalizing recreational marijuana, progressive municipal taxation, combating gun violence, and reining in excessive force by police.

I think she will legitimately try to make things better for the average person in Chicago, but Chicago is set in its ways. I hope she has enough allies to succeed.

Waiting for one of you to bring up her white wife.....anywho good riddance Rahm.

Someone was on FB dragging her already so I came here to see what the tea was.

Rahm needs go back into the hole he crawled out of and stay there for eternity.

Is she native American too?

Lightfoot is a NA last name.

She has a white wife?

If she does,why does Kamala Harris get bashed for having a white husband?

Lightfoot is very plugged in already...she got the Northside white folks for damn sure.

From what I understand a lot of black people voted for her but if she messes up with black people, she won't have a 2nd term!

Toni's soda tax flop killed her status.

There is a political ad with Lightfoot and her daughter who looks just like her. It was cute.

Does anyone know how to embed the video?

If it's Youtube just post the url.
If anything else check the filmroll icon above to see if the forum support that site and then paste the url in that.
Otherwise it wont work so just post the link.

I don't think that she'll be much better than Rahm Emanuel, but she was the better choice over Toni Preckwinkle. And it's good to see a fellow black lesbian do well....even if she does have a white wife. :cautious:

Right. I tried to find something where she is pro police anti BLM but I couldn't find anything credible either.
