With policing a central issue in the election, Chicago voters opted for the candidate who pledged a more 'holistic approach' toward addressing crime.
In what appears to be the closest Chicago mayoral race in four decades, Brandon Johnson is the projected winner over Paul Vallas in Chicago’s mayoral race. Johnson was leading Vallas by about 3 percentage points with 91% of the vote in.
Although both candidates in Tuesday’s race are Democrats, Johnson was considered the more progressive candidate between the two. Johnson had the backing of many national liberals, including Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. Johnson fought back on those claims, telling the Block Club he would take a “holistic approach” toward safety. In his victory speech, Johnson referenced police officers, among others.
