Mayor Lori Lightfoot on her latest reelection challenger: ‘Another day, another man who thinks he can do this job better than me’
Chicago Tribune ^ | 6/2/2022 | Gregory Pratt

Posted on 06/05/2022 2:12:08 PM PDT by simpson96

South Side Ald. Roderick Sawyer, whose father was mayor in the 1980s, will run for City Hall’s top job, he said Thursday.

Sawyer’s declaration marks an extraordinary break with Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who selected him to be part of her City Council leadership team as chairman of the health and human services committee. In an interview with the Tribune, Sawyer criticized Lightfoot’s combative leadership style and said her contempt for aldermen makes it difficult for the City Council to get things done.

“I don’t think I would treat my colleagues as nemesis or an opposing party. We’re all partners in this,” Sawyer said. “That’s the approach we need to take.”

Asked about Sawyer’s entry into the race Thursday morning, Lightfoot said she will announce her reelection campaign next week and defended her record.

“Another day, another man who thinks he can do this job better than me,” Lightfoot said.

God is she awful. Almost always wrong, but never in doubt. You’d think the thimbleful of brains she may have would allow some element of truth to seep in from time to time. But no, she lives the lie, speaks the lie and in the end, will be defeated by her lies. It’s only a matter of time. But its probably already too late for Chicago. The slow, malingering death of a once great city, a death decades in the making. Very sad indeed.

Just remember folks, Lightfoot was the moderate candidate. Her opponent was Stalin reincarnate. Can you imagine how much more effed up Chicago would be had she won?

I have no experience and consider myself incompetent in any executive position and believe I could do better.
