Chicago mayoral hopeful Lori Lightfoot, running against Toni Preckwinkle, is dismissing any suggestion that the runoff election on April 2 is hers to lose.
Elmhurst College political science professor Constance Mixon says the fact that both Toni Preckwinkle and Lori Lightfoot are African-American women means history will be made April 2 for Chicago.
Mayoral candidate Lori Lightfoot was out Wednesday morning thanking voters for putting her in the April runoff election against Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle. Lightfoot was the top vote-getter in the race for mayor and called that honor "sweet."
