Lori Lightfoot and Toni Preckwinkle, both African-American women, got the most votes out of 14 candidates in Chicago’s mayoral election Tuesday night. They’ll head to a runoff election on April 2.
The two women beat William Daley, former chief-of-staff and Commerce Secretary under Barack Obama. Daley’s father and brother were both past Chicago mayors.
