Chicago Mayor LoriLightfoot did not know of emails sent to Chicago teachers by staffer
The emails to teachers, sent out by a staffer on Lightfoot's campaign team, said students would be given school credit in exchange for working 12 hours per week on the campaign. A later statement said the opportunity was a chance for children to engage with the Lightfoot campaign and learn more about civic engagement.The emails were sent to colleges, universities, and schools across the city.
The moment she heard about the outreach, her team"put a stop to it," Lightfoot said during a press conference Thursday afternoon. "I'm not just some candidate — I'm the mayor and responsible for the schools," she said."And this is the kind of outreach that never should have happened."
