I'm optimistic. Vallas has a lot of money behind him and a good ground game, but he's also an obvious right wing piece of shit that even rich lakeside liberals don't like. He's wearing like three albatrosses already.
Vallas is a Democrat but he's on record considering becoming a Republican. He's also got ties to DeSantis by way of Chicago's police unions and his son is a San Antonio cop who shot a Black guy in the back last year. Johnson's team has a lot of ammo to work with.
what are the chances Johnson wins? is he any good?

wasn't Lightfoot supposed to be a Progressive Mayor tho?
she was: huge landmark in the history of pixie/sprite/elf representation.
No. I forget who's who from the last election, but she definitely had progressive opposition being undermined by the local media.

I don't think right-wingers have a chance in US municipal politics. Is there any major city with a GOP mayor? I can't think of one.

New York City
Eric Adams is a Democrat, just like all the rest.
He’s a right winger
I think they're decent. If Chicagoans understand that Vallas is a conservative they'll vote for Brandon.
