    Lori Lightfoot out as Chicago mayor, loses re-election bid

    Good.

    Could not have happened to a more thoroughly repulsive human being.


    Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Loses Reelection Bid

    https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2...eelection-bid/

    JORDAN DIXON-HAMILTON 28 Feb 2023

    Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) on Tuesday failed to secure enough votes to advance to the runoff on Tuesday, losing her bid for a second term in office, according to an Associated Press projection.

    Lightfoot becomes the first Chicago mayor to lose a bid for reelection in 40 years, when former mayor Jane Byrne was ousted in 1983.

    Lightfoot’s loss sets up former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas (D) and Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson (D) for a head to head faceoff in the runoff election on April 4.

    Lightfoot’s first term in office was marked by the coronavirus pandemic and a massive increase in crime.

    “Lori has had her chance. Since Lori Lightfoot has been in office, it seems like crime has gotten worse,” 45-year-old Chicago resident Lonnell Jolly told the Associated Press.

    In 2022, Lightfoot’s Chicago recorded 723 murders, a 95 percent increase in vehicle thefts, a 50 percent increase in theft, and ten percent increases from the previous year in burglary and robbery.

    The crime wave has continued into 2023, as the first homicide of the year occurred just 90 minutes into the New Year. In addition, the first 22 days of 2023 saw a significant increase in crime, as Breitbart News reported:

    And just to make sure the sentiment of my post is clear...

    How unfortunate she couldn't rig her own election. Too bad whoever the new mayor ends up being will just continue where she left off.

    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    I am a libertarian. I am advocating everyone enjoy maximum freedom on both personal and economic issues as long as they do not bring violence unto others.

    If Lightfoot could please make no more public appearances after this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
