Candidate for mayor Paul Vallas is reacting after Mayor Lori Lightfoot launched an election-eve attack on him.
The mayor is now trying to drive up Vallas's negatives, in the process putting race at centerstage. She often notes Vallas's work for the Fraternal Order of Police union, and that a Vallas Twitter account "liked" postings making problematic points about race and one that called Lightfoot a "racist."
"At some point, Paul Vallas, you need to step up and accept responsibility for what you've done. You are giving a platform and elevating hate," Lightfoot said. "She's just grasping at straws. She's trying to divert people's attention from her failed record. I'm going to finish this campaign -- or at least this phase of the campaign -- as I started: talking about the issues," Vallas said.
The runoff campaign will formally begin Tuesday night as the nine current candidates deliver speeches either claiming victory or conceding defeat. At least some of the losers will be courted for potential endorsements by the two who do make the runoff. There is already speculation that one or more of the losers could deliver an endorsement as they bow out. We will see.that I have read and agree
