Chicago's Evolving City Council Chicago City Council Report #9
Chicago’s Evolving City Council Chicago City Council Report #9 June 17, 2015 – March 29, 2017 Authored By: Dick Simpson Maureen Heffern Ponicki Allyson Nolde Thomas J. Gradel University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science May 17, 2017 2 Since Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the new Chicago City Council were sworn in two years ago, there have been 67 divided roll call votes or roughly three per month. A divided roll call vote is not unanimous because at least one or more aldermen votes against the mayor and his administration. The rate of divided roll call votes – twice the rate in Emanuel’s first four year term – combined with an increase in the number of aldermen voting against the mayor – are indications that the aldermen are becoming more independent. Clearly, the city council is less of a predictable “rubber stamp” than it was during Mayor Richard M. Daley’s 22 years and Emanuel’s first four year term from 2011-2015. However, this movement away from an absolute rubber stamp is small and city council is only glacially evolving. The increase in aldermanic independence is confirmed by a downward trend in the vote agreement with the mayor, with only five aldermen voting with him 100% of the time and another 22 voting with him 90%. The number of aldermen voting with the mayor less than 90% of the time on divided votes has risen to 23 over the last two years. Aldermen are also more willing to produce their own legislation and proposed solutions to critical city problems than in the past rather than wait for, or to clear their proposals with, the 5th floor.

From Rubber Stamp to a Divided City Council Chicago City Council Report #11 June 12, 2019 – April 24, 2020
From Rubber Stamp to a Divided City Council Chicago City Council Report #11 June 12, 2019 – April 24, 2020 Authored By: Dick Simpson Marco Rosaire Rossi Thomas J. Gradel University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science April 28, 2020 The Chicago Municipal Elections of 2019 sent earthquake-like tremors through the Chicago political landscape. The biggest shock waves caused a major upset in the race for Mayor. Chicago voters rejected Toni Preckwinkle, President of the Cook County Board President and Chair of the Cook County Democratic Party. Instead they overwhelmingly elected former federal prosecutor Lori Lightfoot to be their new Mayor. Lightfoot is a black lesbian woman and was a partner in a major downtown law firm. While Lightfoot had been appointed head of the Police Board, she had never previously run for any political office. More startling was the fact that Lightfoot received 74 % of the vote and won all 50 Chicago's wards. In the same elections, Chicago voters shook up and rearranged the Chicago City Council. seven incumbent Aldermen lost their seats in either the initial or run-off elections. A total of 12 new council members were victorious and were sworn in on May 20, 2019 along with the new Mayor. The new aldermen included five Socialists, five women, three African Americans, five Latinos, two council members who identified as LGBT, and one conservative Democrat who formally identified as an Independent. Before, the victory parties and swearing-in ceremonies were completed, politically interested members of the general public, politicians, and the news media began speculating about how the relationship between the new Mayor and the new city council would play out.

Rahm Emanuel's Rubber Stamp City Council
Rahm Emanuel’s Rubber Stamp City Council Chicago City Council Report #7 June 8, 2011- November 15, 2014 Authored By: Beyza Buyuker Melissa Mouritsen Dick Simpson University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science December 9, 2014 By Thanksgiving 2014, more than 250 candidates had filed to run for alderman as had ten mayoral candidates. The city council approved Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s $7.3 billion budget with $62.4 million in tax increases by a vote of 46-4 and the following week approved an ordinance to raise the minimum wage to 13 on hour by 2019. At the same time, three aldermen called upon the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Chicago Inspector General, and the city comptroller to investigate potentially illegal campaign contributions to Mayor Emanuel from financial firms that manage city pension funds. As the 2015 elections loom, it is a time of both controversy and strong mayoral control of the city council. Despite signs of occasional controversy and opposition, the city council under Mayor Rahm Emanuel has remained a rubber stamp. Mayor Emanuel has recently lost some support compared to his first two years as the council has had more frequent divided roll call votes. Nonetheless, it continues as a rubber stamp council. In fact, for his entire three and a half years under Mayor Emanuel it has remained more of a rubber stamp than under either Mayors Richard J. or Richard M. Daley. Histograms of voting behavior show that the city council in the last two years under the Mayor Emanuel was more likely to disagree with mayor than during his first two years.

Emanuel and Lightfoot City Councils: Chicago City Council Report #12 June 12, 2019 – May 18, 2021
1 Emanuel and Lightfoot City Councils: Chicago City Council Report #12 June 12, 2019 – May 18, 2021 Authored By: Dick Simpson Marco Rosaire Rossi Thomas J. Gradel With Acknowlegements To: Chi Hack Night UIC Institute for Policy and Civic Engagement University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science May 18, 2021 2 Lori Lightfoot, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney and a partner in a prestigious high- powered law firm, was sworn into office on May 20, 2019 as Mayor of the City of Chicago. A few weeks earlier, Lightfoot overwhelmingly carried all 50 Chicago wards and defeated former Alderman and Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle, Sworn in the same day were 50 aldermen. As voting members of the City Council, they, together with Mayor Lightfoot, would govern Chicago, the third largest city in the nation. This new council included a dozen freshman aldermen, seven of whom defeated incumbents. Among these twelve were five women, three African Americans, five Latinos, two members who identified as LGBT, five members of the Democratic Socialists of America, and one independent. The public and the news media questioned how the new Mayor and the City Council would work together. Would the Council continue to be a "Rubber Stamp," and agree to everything the Mayor wanted? Or would it be "Council Wars" all over again? For much of Chicago's history since the mid-1950s, the Council has been a Rubber Stamp. That was true under the 43 years dominated by Mayors Richard J. and Richard M. Daley. It was mostly true under Mayors Michael Bilandic, Jane Byrne, and Rahm Emanuel.

Chicago City Council Report
The Last of the Daley Years Chicago City Council Voting Report #5 May 21, 2007 – January 13, 2011 Authored By: Dick Simpson James Nell Missy Mouritsen Zmuda Thomas J. Gradel Cori Smith Tom Kelly University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science March 2011 For the past four years, Mayor Richard M. Daley has had nearly complete control over the city council. But his power has waxed and waned. When the city council was first elected in 2007, there was more dissent. It died down in 2008-2009. Since 2010, opposition to Mayor Daley has grown once again. Mayor-elect Emanuel will have even weaker control over the new Chicago City Council when he takes over in May 2011. On February 22, 2011, Chicagoans cast their vote for all 50 aldermen. Seven aldermen ran unopposed – leaving 43 seats contested by a field of 239 candidates. Generally, these seven unopposed aldermen were stronger members of the city council such as Alderman Edward Burke of the 14th ward. Of the 43 contested seats, 25 of the incumbents won outright, one lost, and ten face a runoff election on April 5th because they were unable to secure more than 50% of the vote. In the February election there were 11 seats vacated by former alderman who were retiring or moving to higher office – an unusually high number. Generally, they were among the most loyal aldermen supporting Mayor Daley. On average they voted with the mayor on divided roll call votes 90% of the time. Table 1 illustrates this pattern. Only Aldermen Toni Preckwinkle and Brian Doherty among the retiring aldermen voted 70% or less of the time with the mayor.
