Data from the city’s Board of Elections has not yet made it clear who among the eight other candidates, including Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot, might get the second spot in a race centered on the city’s crime. Vallas won the endorsement of Chicago’s conservative Fraternal Order of Police and faced accusations from his rivals of being a Republican despite declaring himself a Democrat.
Vallas has also been a school administrator in New Orleans and Philadelphia, and unsuccessfully campaigned for Illinois governor in 2002. When he didn’t qualify for the Chicago mayoral runoff in 2019, he endorsed Lightfoot.
