The Democratic incumbent failed to gain enough votes in the nine-person race to move on to an April 4 runoff election, according to projections by The Associated Press. Ideologically, the choice between Vallas and Johnson is stark. Vallas ran as a moderate law-and-order candidate, while Johnson ran on an unabashedly progressive agenda.
The mayor conceded defeat Tuesday night at her party in downtown Chicago, saying,"Obviously we didn't win the election today, but I stand here with my head held high."
