    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.

Reineke: We’re here at my current employer, which is Hill & Knowlton, Inc. It’s a public relations firm, and we’re located at the Merchandise Mart in downtown Chicago. DePue: Which has a fascinating history itself. Someday I’ll have to delve into that one. We’re obviously here to talk about your experiences in the Edgar administration, but you had a lot of years working with Jim Thompson as well, so we’re going to take quite a bit of time. In today’s session, I don’t know that we’ll get to much of the Edgar experience because you’ve got enough information to talk about before that time, which is valuable history for us.

I was intrigued by this role reversal as I usually fi nd myself reaching out to donors like him for assistance as we deliver free legal services to Chicago’s most vulnerable. Mark and his wife Jennifer are people I deeply admire. They live and work in the Lawndale neighborhood of Chicago – a rough part of town – serving as urban missionaries to a community with real needs. During the call, Mark told me about a young man from his youth program who had recently had a run-in with the police. The 18-year-old (who I will call Jerome) was sitting on his porch on a steamy morning in July when four offi cers Table of Contents approached and questioned him about an incident that had occurred earlier that day. The engagement escalated as Jerome proved uncooperative in answering questions about an event he was uninvolved in and the offi cers responded with vulgarities and racial 4 Case Statistics epithets. Jerome eventually made a smart comment back to the offi cers – something akin to “one day I’ll be your supervisor” – and immediately found himself being carried behind the house for a beating. 5 Financial Summary I confess to some skepticism about the described events during my conversation with Mark; that is, until I saw the evidentiary photo- 6 Funding graphs which document Jerome’s open bloody cuts, welts and scrapes on his shoulder, buttocks, wrist, cheek, eyelid, neck and back.
