Mayor Lori Lightfoot downplayed speculation about her political future in Chicago as she navigates the CTU, CPS dispute over COVID safety.
CHICAGO -- Mayor Lori Lightfoot downplayed speculation about her political future in Chicago Monday as she navigates the COVID safety dispute that has shut down Chicago Public Schools.
But her response to that, and other issues facing the city, can be seen by some as how she is positioning herself for reelection. Former CPS CEO and U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan is being wooed by some members of the business community, and a source said he will be meeting with the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce.
It's not just COVID and education that Lightfoot is dealing with. Crime continues to be a problem plaguing downtown and neighborhoods.
