Lightfoot, who finished third in the first round of voting in the mayoral election, has said she's ready to support the transition.
Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson met Thursday with Mayor Lori Lightfoot for the first time since Tuesday's election.
Johnson also said he received an unambiguous message from Mayor Lightfoot — that she and her team will do everything possible to make sure his administration gets off on the right foot.This was Johnson's first visit to City Hall since winning Tuesday. As he arrived, a few dozen city staffers watched as he entered the elevator to the fifth-floor Mayor's office.
Johnson said while he and Lightfoot had their differences on the campaign trail — and at times Lightfoot took direct shots at Johnson — he says that is behind them."I will say crossing the threshold, I had a flood of emotions," Johnson said."You know, I thought a lot about my parents - and my mother in particular, who's no longer with us; she's an ancestor - what this moment means for, for people around the city, who want the city to be united.
in an official statement, Johnson said:"Mayor Lightfoot and I had a positive, productive discussion today about the future of our city. During the meeting, I expressed my deep gratitude for her service to Chicago, and she graciously offered her full support during the mayoral transition. Based on our conversation today, I'm confident this will be a smooth transition that helps us come together as a city to deliver a better, stronger, safer Chicago.
