Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot filed her petitions to run for re-election on Monday.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Chicago first lady Amy Eshleman vote early for the midterm election at NEIU El Centro, Nov. 3, 2022.
“With the filing today, one chapter in the campaign ends and another opens,” she said after submitting a stack of nominating papers that, sitting on the Board of Elections table, almost reached her shoulders. Surrounded by supporters and Chicago first lady Amy Eshleman, Lightfoot quipped that her pile of more-than-40,000 signatures “looks like enough to me” before expressing that the next focus is on telling voters “why the only rational choice is to return me to office.
Lightfoot’s decision not to file on the first day drew scorn from rivals, who said it reflects organizational challenges as the mayor fights an uphill battle to win reelection. But Lightfoot has shrugged off the criticism. The incumbent mayor said her lack of interest in playing that game was because she isn’t worried about name recognition — and because “I actually got a city to run as well.”
