City Council elections

The rest involve seats that were open because the incumbent decided to either run for another office or retire.
In the races involving incumbents, three of them were elected at least going back to 2019. Those are Ald. Chris Taliaferro, who is trying to fend off West Side activist CB Johnson in the 29th Ward, which includes parts of Austin and Montclare on the West and Northwest sides; Ald. Gilbert Villegas, who is facing Leonor “Lori” Torres Whitt in the seesaw-shaped 36th Ward on the North and Northwest sides; and Ald. Jim Gardiner, who is facing Megan Mathias in the Northwest Side’s 45th Ward.
The three recently appointed incumbent races involve Ald. Nicole Lee, who is facing Anthony Ciaravino in the 11th Ward, which includes Bridgeport and Chinatown on the South Side; Ald. Monique Scott, who is being challenged by community leader Creative Scott in the 24th Ward, which includes Lawndale on the West Side; and Ald. Timmy Knudsen, who is facing Brian Comer for the 43rd Ward, which includes Lincoln Park on the North Side.
Other City Council races that will be featured in the runoff include the 4th, 5th, 6th, 10th, 21st, 30th, 46th and 48th wards.Many Chicagoans are voting in a new ward this year after a redistricting battle. Not sure which ward you live in?
