Mayoral candidate Brandon Johnson and Fourth Ward aldermanic candidate Lamont Robinson won their respective elections on April 4. Desmon Yancy won the Fifth Ward after rival candidate Tina Hone conceded on April 10.
Fifth Ward aldermanic candidate Desmon Yancy emphasized including the community in policymaking as central to his campaign ahead of the runoff election against Tina Hone on April 4.
On February 28, Chicagoans will vote for the mayor, city clerk, and city treasurer of Chicago, as well as members of the Chicago City Council and of the Police District Councils.
Recent polling in a race heavily focused on public safety suggests none of the nine candidates will receive a simple majority, making it likely the top two will compete in an April runoff.
The City of Chicago will hold its first police district council elections this year following the enactment of a July 2021 ordinance.
